Elio De Angelis (26/03/1958 – 15/05/1986)… he holds the record of Lotus fidelity with 90 Gp starts and one of the sweetest smiles of the history of Formula 1…RIP Elio…
Before Adrian Sutil (who also plays the piano) there was Elio!
Great footage of the first ever Monte Carlo grand prix. Organised in 1929 by Anthony Noghes, the race sees British driver William Grover-Williams driving a Bugatti 35B taking the title. He beat the great German driver, Rudolf Caracciola. The Monte Carlo circuit is still one of the most demanding and dangerous formula one circuits with its narrow streets, windy tunnel and tight corners around the city. The famous Monaco harbour has also played its role with a couple of drivers having crashed into the sea – the most famous being Alberto Ascari. Watch the newsreel about his death here.
As many as four Formula 1 personnel have been taken to the circuit medical centre, or local hospital in Barcelona, for medical checks after a major fire broke out in the Williams garage late on Sunday afternoon at the Circuit de Catalunya.
Sky Sports F1’s Ted Kravitz, standing in the pit lane at the time of the fire, reported that he saw a “huge ploom of orange flame” erupt from behind the divider in the Williams garage, where the team had congregated to celebrate Pastor Maldonado’s earlier victory in the race.
The team members were then seen evacuating into the pit lane as huge plooms of dark smoke began billowing out of the garage and up the pit lane. Mechanics from other teams went in to help put out the flames with the fire put out within several minutes.
