List of fatal Formula One accidents
 

Stumbled upon this. Found it interesting.

I was at The Glen when Francois Cevert was killed.

The car did not look too bad. I believe he broke his neck. I am happy to see there has been much improvement made in the safety area.

4 deaths in the last 20 years (Ayrton Senna being the last F1 driver) is a pretty good records.

I was at Group B rally in Kirchheim Germany when Mark Surer wrecked and killed his co-driver. It was the final nail in the coffin of group B.
Didn't even know it had happened until I got home and saw it on the news. I think the wreck put Surer out of racing permanently as well.
Sad on all three counts...

list omits greats like AA or JC just because they were not killed in a f-1 car

Then its good that they omit it in a list of formula one fatal accidents.

the sport has changed
back in the 50-60's
drivers drove for the team
f-1 f-2 and sports cars
same team, same team members, different class cars on a given weekend
the top level were not really separate like today

That's a good point. One of my all time faves, the great, Jim Clark isn't on *this* list, as he was killed in a Formula 2 car. I'm sure there are many others.

EDIT: sorry, that must have been who you were referring to with "JC"

Interesting, they consider the Indy 500 F1?

F1 car on the Indy race track?

Was indy ever considered part of the F1 drivers championship?

1950 to 1959 points were awarded by the FIA for indy
as we had no GP and indy ran the 1950 4.5 rule

many inc winners pre WW2
black jack drove a cooper in 61 that was a 2.7 version of his WDC car

what indy car won a GP post WW2 ?

Yes, for many years.
