Gilles Villeneuve’s impressive crash with Ronnie Peterson, during the 1977 Japanese Grand Prix.
A photographer and a race marshall were killed, sadly, and a lot of spectators were injured.

Patrick Depailler racing at Long Beach, 1978.
One of the most satisfying camera angles to watch Mr. Depailler doing his magic with the Tyrrell 008 — the last Tyrrell he ever drove.
What I especially like about this footage, aside from the obvious, is that it’s pretty easy to spot why Formula 1 was so dangerous back then, even in 1978. You get the “kart feeling” and instability just by watching the action, except the speeds are as mental as todays’.
It is quite something, isn’t it?

Wheel count * 1.5 = fun * 2. Yes, my math is weird.

The very interesting Tyrrell P34 at Paul Picard, 1976.
A woman once said that “wheels are like boobies for a man, and cars have 4 of them”. The P34 was a gorgeous and sexy 6-boobied car.

The 007 was perhaps Tyrrell’s first real competitive car in Formula 1. Tyrrell had used the 006 for the first few Grand Prixs of the season and it was quite evident that they needed a replacement. The 007 was a serious evolution, introduced in the 4th GP of the season.
It used the Ford Cosworth DFV 3 litre V8 engine, developing 465bhp.
