Before Grosjean…

Romain Grosjean horrendous crash sent shivers in our backs and it’s a real miracle that the French-Swiss driver survived! In the past, unfortunately, many drivers in the same situation did not have Grosjean’s luck and some were even beheaded…

We remember the dramas at Watkins Glen in 1973 (François Cevert) and in 1974 (Helmut Koinigg) or also at Zeltweg in 1975 (Mark Donohue).

But for some drivers, miracles happened as well in the past, witness the picture here-above of the Surtees of John Love stuck in the armco at Kyalami in 1971 or the one here-under of Clay Regazzoni in Formula 3 at the 1968 Monaco Grand Prix.
