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...

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"
