Pinned, won’t stop others from mentioning it kekw.

@@AidanMillward Kekw Rosberg In fairness, with Millward HQ currently operating under limited facilities, that should have crossed my mind

@@ADxWales81 the thing said back straight before the hairpin. Since Jerez only has one long straight it made sense for it to be that one. 🤣

@@AidanMillward that got modified in 1992. Before that it was a layout on hungaroring levels of overtaking space. Not that it stopped some amazing racing during the turbo era

Tight? I thought that meant slow as well, but these last two turns are lightning fast. Just try it in a simulater racer, the margin for error is small. And in those days kerbstones were designed to really throw you off balance. I don't know if kerbstones were involved in Donnelly's crash, but i felt it worth to mention. I saw Donnelly a few years ago on TV, where he turned out to be a teacher on some sort of driving school. Me and the wife were watching it and when i heard his name i immediately knew that it was him. There were some other references on TV that just seemed to confirm it, i think he also limped a bit.

Similar thing with Christiano da Matta, drove some in F1 and was nearly killed when he hit a deer in practice at Elkhart Lake when he went back to IndyCar. He came back and raced other cars, but his career in big time racing was over.

Birthday buddies with Peter.

@@AidanMillward Awesome! 😎 (Hope the move's going/gone well.)

I was at Brands when Jacques was squeezed into barrier protecting the access tunnel from the paddock. That was a huge smash and immediately everyone watching in the area knew it was bad. I later met one of the first St John's Ambulance medics on the scene who told me that Laffite's legs were in such a state that he was lucky that neither was amputated.

Completely agree. He was my favorite driver when I started watching F1 in the late 70s

Exactly. I'd put him surely into Top 10 with no crown, maybe even Top 5. He started when he was good over 30 y.o. and had his great years during near 40. Also, I think Renault was along with Williams the best cars of 81. Ligier and Brabham 3rd.

He is a legend

Probably because he was in CART then and not F1

Because I wasn’t out to name every driver, and done videos on him before. Just because I haven’t named every conceivable option doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten 😉

More of a joke with how many Adams WC Wrestling has. Blampied, Cleary, Wilbourn & Nicholas

It was on ECW One Night Stand guys!

​@caphowdy666 also a joke on how it's gotten to the point that Adam's now like "yes, that's related to this list too and no, I'm not talking about it because I've done so way too many times. If I so much as think someone is going to say I've 'forgotten' it, I'll beat them up for realsies"

@@caphowdy666 As someone who has watched WC Wrestling, I can't believe I never picked up on that.

He got into a bit of trouble, stayed off KZfaq for a while and is now on a channel called Wrestletalk.

Well, Penske had signed Greg Moore initially, but Moore tragically died during the 1999 season finale. Look him up, he was the real deal.

​@@harmkuijpers6642josh revell made a good video on him

@@harmkuijpers6642 But I think the point is if Helio had not gotten that opportunity and shined at Hogan, he may not have been on Roger's radar screen after the death of Moore.

The man with nine lives.

@@AidanMillward and the definition of a hero throughout his life.

​@@AidanMillward100 actually.

Ahh yes. Cheater schumacher. Should have been banned for life.

According to them it wasn't TC, it was Launch Control. Hmmm........

Steve Park was definitely a what could have been driver in the NASCAR ranks. I hope he is doing well.

Would be good to see that actually, it’s always sad seeing a big star’s final race end in disappointment like Coulthard in the wings for life red bull etc but would be nice to see the flip side of that with people who ended on a high

Peter Brock channel actually has a video on that regarding F1 champions last races

​@@TheAmeteurAssassinsRed Bull didn't give him wings

He went to touring cars from 04 onwards

I guess his accident was in CART, after his Formula 1 career had finished, so not really forgotten but omitted. Maybe he would have got a second chance in Formula 1, who knows, but the number of drivers that have had a second go at Formula 1 is rather small indeed.

I’ve done videos on Zanardi already so nothing was forgotten.

@@AidanMillward You will be aware that Zanardi returned to the Lauzitzring the following year and completed his remaining laps in a CART racing car adapted with hand controls. Everyone expected him to drive around at a leisurely pace just for show but he didn't, he went for it. His pace was such that if he was actually competing he would have been fourth on the grid for the race.

@AidanMillward Fair enough. I thought he might of got an honourable mention though.

his accident at brands was in F3000, he'd already been in talks with F1 teams around the time of it

He’s legally disabled and has a blue badge.

@@AidanMillward wow never knew that! Good luck with your new home☺

@@solsol1624 there’s actually a funny story about it. The council that issued him that blue badge in the late 80s saw he’d been racing formula one cars and pulled him in to say “are you having a fucking laugh?”

@@AidanMillward LOL can kinda understand it though. Does he still have the badge?

@@solsol1624 think he does.

I know people like it. Better to live as who they are than not be around at all.

And Wrestletalk.

Streiff was actually the first driver I thought of, when I saw the title. I think he had the most horrific fate following his accident as he was left paralysed and couldn't move at all for the rest of his life. He was impressiv with the AGS during the 1988 season with the highlight being a fourth place at Canada, before something broke on the car.

It's always better to say "of their time", I think (I'm not arguing over the names!). The cars change so much that someone from the 50s, maybe even from the 70s, transported to today, even while at their career & fitness peak, quite probably couldn't handle the cars (especially the G Forces). Having said that, I don't think anyone from today could go back in time and drive those cars to the same standards of the top drivers. Those cockpits had to be huge just to fit the drivers' balls in! None of this is to diss any driver at all! They can only drive the cars they're given. I was a big Herbert fan back in the day (cried my eyes out when he got that last win. I knew he'd never do it again because of how things were going. Mind, I shed a few for Badoer in the Minardi. Soooo close!) I just have a natural aversion to comparing someone who drove cars built to one or two sets of rules to someone else whose cars are significantly different. Imagine Fangio trying to do a Fernando - racing (often in "combat") his (compared to Fangio's) enormous, extremely heavy Aston, whilst changing heaven only knows how many settings on his steering wheel, while checking up on Stroll whenever he gets to see the big screen! But then would Fred drive for the 4 hours or more that some old GPs lasted, in driving rain or extreme heat, with no seatbelts and only the occasional highly-flammable straw bails as "protection"? I'm not impugning his courage, but today's drivers are - generally - more safety conscious! Anyway, don't take this as me disagreeing with you per se, just giving my perspective. :)

Johnny Herbert was one of the great what could have beens of modern F1, what he might have done had it not been for his injuries. 3rd on his F1 debut in a Benetton was astonishing... Many great drives later, but we never got to see the real Johnny.

Might of helped if ron dennis and frank williams had faith and signed him to drive for their teams

This was actually one of the reasons Herbert left as he felt that Benetton at the time was essentially a one man operation and the 2nd car was consistently an afterthought

very good explanation. For me aidan makes it look in the video, that the 2nd car was so bad because it was "legal" while Michaels wasnt. And that is simply not true in my opinon.

He made Meanie bleed the hard way at on ECW One Night Stand! Nobody knew that!

The same drivers named right at the end?

Nikki Lauda??

@@mrkipling2201 Yep

I’ve done Wheldon but not Wilson

His full name is Jyrki Juhani Järvilehto, Juhani sadly not meaning "lake". It is a beautiful name though, but should've been JJJ Lehto just to confuse journos. :)

@@yoink781 Oh nice, but yea the pundits on tv was like Jay Jay Lehto, or Jyrki Järvi Lehto. But yea, that'd be Jay Jay Jay Lehto :D

NASCAR had a guy named Lake: Lake Speed. And even though you might think he was just some random NASCAR redneck, he did beat Ayrton Senna to win the World Carting championship when they were teenagers. But he had to race NASCAR because Formula One wasn't going to take no guy from Mississippi into their ranks.

That's what I hate the most 'If it wasn't for x, someone else would win' Of course, but that's how racing works. Hell, that's how life works.

BWO 4 LIFE

Rahal was already an Indy 500 winner before he teamed with Hogan, and had two CART championships. The two of them bought Pat Patrick's bankrupt team that had run Alfa Romeo engines (there's a story for you), and Rahal won his third championship that year. They'd split after the 1995 season, with Rahal retiring three years later and then getting some guy from Indiana named David Letterman as a partner

They couldn’t prove he was driving or something like that.

Joey Styles laid him out did you know that? 🤪🤪🤪🤪

@@AidanMillward “AH GOTTA TICKET YA LITTLE ENGLISHMAN!”

The ending of careers is done with a shotgun round the back of a shed and he then tells the other drivers they’ve gone to live in a farm.

I remember that accident, and it's the first clear memory of F1 I have.

If I did everyone it would have been too long
