Andretti did, however, claim the World Championship, but under tragic circumstances as teammate Ronnie Peterson died a day after a horrific first lap accident. Unlike the other broadcasts, the raw feed was available for several years at least, but the ABC coverage had not been recovered until January 2023. This will be the last one I will cover for now.

Legal issues forced them to race, but an accident involving Hill-Ford's Rolf Stommelen caused the deaths of four spectators and severely injured the German. The race was abruptly ended, with McLaren-Ford's Jochen Mass claiming his only win, and March-Ford's Lella Lombardi becoming to date the only woman to score World Championship points.

Carlos Reutemann took victory at the event, leading from start to finish. Sadly, the event is known for a horrible freak accident that claimed the life of Helmuth Koinigg. Since then, safety on Armco barriers and Formula One in general has improved, as Romain Grosjean's 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix crash proved.

Sadly, the race is most known for Piers Courage's horrendous accident on lap 23.

However, I suspect even non-F1 fans may have heard about the fatal accident in this race. If I mention it involved a fire extinguisher... yeah, I think you know which accident I am referring to. RIP Frederik Jansen van Vuuren and Tom Pryce.

However, this is arguably the most important race in Formula One's history. Jackie Stewart suffered an horrendous accident, where only intervention from Graham Hill and Bob Bondurant prevented his death at the circuit. His ordeal led him to campaign for stricter safety standards. Without his influence, many more fatalities would have occurred throughout Formula One's history.

  • curprev 15:1515:15, 2 June 2023‎ SpaceManiac888 talk contribs‎ 101,317 bytes +15,918‎ Jacky Ickx scored his first win at the 1968 French Grand Prix in dominant fashion. Sadly, the event is overshadowed by Jo Schlesser's fatal accident, where he stood no chance of escaping a burning magnesium vehicle. The strong warning posed by the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans disaster was sadly ignored. The race did not enjoy much television coverage, but rumours persist of a French ORTF broadcast. A small highlights package by Austrian channel ORF has additionally resurfaced.

  • curprev 13:4613:46, 31 May 2023‎ SpaceManiac888 talk contribs‎ 85,399 bytes +18,307‎ Denny Hulme's first win is overshadowed by Lorenzo Bandini's terrible accident at the 1967 Monaco Grand Prix. Straw bales, a television helicopter going too close to the crash scene, and unprepared marshals contributed towards his needless suffering. Some ORTF live coverage is publicly available, as is an ABC colour highlights package... which contained close-up footage of the rescue which is way too graphic and disturbing to be linked to in this article. Horrendous stuff indeed.
