Some of the scenes made me feel ill, I can't begin to fathom the bravery of ALL of the drivers who raced in that era, or the stupidity of the FIA equivalent at the time. I guess it's taken us to where we are today.

Jesus. I can't even imagine.

Unbelievable. That part when the mechanic refers to drivers as nearly expendable... You can tell he doesn't want to admit it, but the conditions of the time period made it so.

And one of the last video clips where the one driver is trying to help the the driver in the burning car. Unbelievable.

 

Just finished watching Spa 2012.. safety went a long way..

 

I guess we have Jackie Stewart and the F1DA of the time to thank, for the safety standards that are present in today's racing

 

It hurts to watch.

 

I agree. While watching it I almost forgot it was a sport. Looked more like a bloody battlefield.
