Historic F1 crash videos and Bandini's 1967 death

A website link to historic F1 videos and crash footage led to discussion of Lorenzo Bandini's fatal 1967 Monaco crash. Posters disputed whether he died in the car or days later, with Bruce Kennewell citing Louis Stanley's book and others confirming he died three days later in hospital. Several objected to collecting fatal crash footage, and the thread turned to memories of first Grands Prix and Gilles Villeneuve.

I've read in several different places that he died in hospital from burns the next day? -- Cheers! Graeme Nash
Indeed, he died three days later after the crash in the hospital. Here's the whole story: http://home.swipnet.se/~w-36707/1967/Bandini_Monaco.htm Andre

Guys, I saw the pic Bruce mentioned, more like glanced at it, and I couldn't sleep that night. Makes me sick to think of it; one reason I am happy I wasn't following the racing scene back then. Now, get off the "real fiction" yukky stuff (like they had to show a poor fellow killing himself in a Snowboard race on the news last weekend, I mean, what the f*** is the news about that?!?!),and go do something sensible, like watch a good movie :-) Like the Matrix, LOL, try and see the similarity to our GPL/simming world.

Bruce, Is the book you're talking about the following?: Stanley, Louis T. _Strictly off the record: Grand Prix controversy and intrigue._ London: Salamander, 1999. Do you recommend the book? Thanks, Michael G. Lowery

Stiff one 26 Jan 2000#516637
The one of Paletti being killed in Canada made me sicker. Both were bad but the one from 82 showed more. If you watch how frantic Peroni was and how he grabs a marshal and pushes him to the car. The guy was putting out the fire at the side of the road! Another marshal, the one trying to get Paletti out of the car had his foot on fire the whole time. Very distressing.
Yeah, I remember that accident very well (it was from the time I started to follow F1), but Paletti died on impact (Broke his neck). Bandini burned to death, screaming. At least we don't get those type of horrible accidents where the drivers suffer long these days. Matt

Yes as you can see in the video he never moved an inch. Not the kind of thing anyone really wants to see. > >The one of Paletti being killed in Canada made me sicker.

I cant understand the mentality behind having footage of fatal crashes. It seems sick to me. Espesially the way the is a huge link for sennas crash, ive come across this stuff before and will never knowingly watch any crash that cost a life.

Stanley was instrumental in setting up the GP Medical Centre, a mobile facility that attended every GP and major race in Britain and Europe and continues this day in a modified format. The photograph in his book is part of the chapter on the accidents that Louis actually attended and almost every picture in the book was taken by him. According to the details within, Bandini was DOA. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

Yes, Michael. That's the book and for those interested in that era, and BRM in particular, it is an excellent read. Louis (pronounced 'Lewis', not 'Loo-ee'...as he pointed out to a well-known driver once!) pulls no punches either....there are some controversial statements included. As a point of interest, BRMs greatest successes came when Louis Stanley was at the helm. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- > Bruce, > Is the book you're talking about the following?: > Stanley, Louis T. > _Strictly off the record: Grand Prix controversy and > intrigue._ > London: Salamander, 1999. > Do you recommend the book? > Thanks, > Michael G.

You tell me.... I hear of a lot of people who only gained interest in F1-racing after 1st. May 1994. Perhaps it is the fine line between a casual observer of the sport or just a little more interest that keeps to your mind... I dunno. I wasn't one of them.

I was 9 years old when I watched My first GP. It was in 1978 at Monza. I saw it on TV. It was one of the most horrifying things to see when I was 9 years old. It's not important when he died but how he died. As I look to those photo's I still see that black burning Lotus. Olaf
I asked an acquaintance for, and received tonight, some additional info regarding Lorenzo's accident and can advise that yes, he WAS "clinically alive" when Louis Stanley took that ghastly photo of him in the burnt car. The horrifying thing is that everyone thought he was dead and it wasn't until his "body" was being removed (just seconds after the picture was taken) that a spark of life was detected. Lorenzo never regained conciousness and died somewhere between two and three days after the incident. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Bruce Kennewell <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I draw your attention once again to the photo in the Louis Stanley book.

When I first started watching GP racing in 1981, Gilles Villeneuve was my hero (I had seen his famous lap on 3 wheels at Zandvoort a couple of years earlier). Sadly he perished at the fifth race of the 82 season, at that point i knew something had been stolen from the sport and I still regret that accident ever happened.

Lorenzo Bandini died three days after his accident (10/5/1967 Monte-carlo hospital, race was held on 7/5/67) but there was no chance of recovery for him as he was dreadfully charred and burnt (must have been hell) if the rescue team had been quicker who knows how his career would have turned out, he was definetly obne of the monaco masters. I am one of those people who became interested in not only f1 but motorsport in 1994 after Imola, this was the first motorsport i had seen (i was about 8 or 9) (i actually listened to the race bon the radio, i can remember what i was doing in the aftermath of the accident in detail, I onkly got the courage up to watch the crash about 6 months ago and refuse to see video's of fatal accidents, i did however see Neil Shanahans fatal accident at oulton park last year which has also had an effect on me. This had such a deep impact on me that ive watched f1 and motorsport eversince. Senna's death opened up F1 to even those who had not been interested in the sport at all. I put senna as my hero even though i have never seen him race. maybe i am just an emotional person i dont know.

I remember watching Villeneuve at Long Beach that year(on ABC's Wide World of Sports) and seeing him totally overcook a sharp corner at the end of a long straight. He did a 4 wheel lockup stop into the corner run-off without hitting any tires, then he does a reverse burnout and just makes a cloud of smoke, and somewhere inside that cloud he shifts into first gear and continues the pyrotechnics through the corner! I've been trying to emulate his driving style my entire *** life...and have the tickets to prove it!!! Who says kids aren't impressionable? Gary
Graeme Nash 13 Feb 2000#519381
Yep, Long Beach '82, I have the 1982 season review video (along with all the others!), and Clive James' commentary on that race in particular is brilliant :-) -- Cheers! Graeme Nash
David 13 Feb 2000#519382
The first GP I ever watched was Monaco '86. I knew nothing about F1, and only tuned in after urging from school friends, but was hooked at once. When I read some back copies of Motor Sport I'd been lent, there was one man who fascinated me, and who I really wanted to see go to the top. I shouted for him all through the race (until he retired on about lap 30). "Never mind," I thought. "He'll come back stronger in Belgium". His name was Elio de Angelis. What a stupid, disgraceful loss. -- David. "After all, a mere thousand yards - such a harmless little knoll, really." (Raymond Mays on Shelsley Walsh)

I wonder if Rosberg did one of his infamous "brake tests" on Villenueve. Gary

Thats a great story. I'll definately look for the book! Thanks, Gary
Chris Bloom 16 Feb 2000#520002
I remember an tribute in "Grand Prix International" magazine shortly after Gilles death. It went into detail about his "leisure" vehicles. From what I remember it was quite a brilliant and moving piece of journalism. I might still have that magazine, I'm going to visit my parents later this year so if my Mum hasn't thrown all my old racing mags out I will find it and put it up on the web somewhere if anyone is interested.
