The Tom Pryce accident was probably the hardest one to stomach...

For me, it was Roger Williamson at Zandvoort in '73 and Senna in '94.

The image of Senna's lifeless body sprawled out on the ground with all the emergency people kneeling over him has been forever seared in to my mind,

Roger Williamson with David Purley trying to save him is horrible to watch except for the heroic effort of Purley. Purley had to run to get the extinguisher from one of the marshals who stood around doing basically nothing while Williamson burned. Most disgusting display by the marshals ever.

Gilles hurt me deeply then and still bothers me.
