Fans of the 'ring may be interseted to know that this weeks issue of
Autosport has an article in which one of the drivers who pulled Niki Lauda
from his burning car returns to the 'ring for the first time since that
weekend. It really reminds you how dangerous the cars used to be (and the
'ring!)

I doubt I could get Autosport here in Germany - which driver is it?

The driver wae Guy Edwards (driving for the Hesketh team), who pulled him
out along with the help of Brett Lunger, Harald Ertl and Arturo Merzario. He
then went back to the flaming car to pull away one of the fuel tanks that
had broken away!
I might put some of the story on my site at a later date (if I get around to
it!)
