Aah. (Note to self: must remember to read properly). I'd thought Bergy had correctly identified Prost and Lauda!

As for the year, I was so certain it was the last GP at Brands that I just plumped for '86!

Thanks for the correction.

I was there in 86, with some great friends and our beautiful wives, sat on our own Box scaffolding and cooler boxes at Clearways, OH well, the good old days, before H&S. I think there was a tussle between Mansell and Piquet, which Mansell eventually managed to win. Great days.

Mike Hawthorn, I presume this is linked to Le Mans that year. Don't some say that he caused the accident that led to the death of many spectators?

Video speaks for its self...

Wikipedia: Macklin had regarded Hawthorn as a friend; but, when he read Hawthorn's autobiography Challenge Me The Race in 1958, he was embittered to find that Hawthorn disclaimed all responsibility for the accident without identifying who had actually caused it. With Levegh dead, Macklin presumed that Hawthorn's implication was that he (Macklin) had been responsible, and he began a libel action. The action was unresolved when Hawthorn was killed in a crash on the Guildford bypass in 1959.



The French used to love the British and Jaguar coming to Le Mans to fight the Mercedes. After that day it turned the other way round as at least Mercedes had the respect to notice the scale of what happend where as Jaguar just continued with up to 200 people either injured or dead...

And some people hated Schumacher for his attitude when Senna died, Hawthorn got 83 people killed and yet he is the lovable playboy from the 50's...

Yes, Hawthorn won, Jaguar finally beat Mercedes and 80 spectators were decapitated, Mercedes withdrew from the race and motorsport until 1993 when they started supplying engines to F1 teams. Jaguar declined to withdraw and continued to finish the race, a hollow victory I think.

I don't believe anyone can be blamed for the accident, it was a racing accident and make no mistake it could happen again, cars have taken off in spectacular style in recent years, fortunately no one has been seriously hurt.
 
I think it is quite wrong in this instance, to attempt to lay blame upon any racing driver for causing the death of 83 spectators.
