    Doubtless a de Cesaris crash compilation will follow on youtube, though it would be in tribute to the man who walked away from every car he wrecked, rather than malicious!

    Can't find a link, but he crashed one of those beauties heavily at 160mph at Silverstone. Massive side impact (in the days before head restraints) yet he walked away from that too.

    Might have been nicknamed "de Crasheris", but you don't get the chance to race in 214 Grands Prix if you don't have some talent.

    Very true, this is what I posted in the Japan race thread where it was first mentioned

    I thought your tribute on the Japan thread was excellent the moment I saw it; off-the-cuff too, presumably - very impressive!

    Rest in peace, Andrea, or just keep on crashing in heaven; as you like.
