Second angle of Gilles Villeneuve's fatal crash & other stuff

#1

Post by mattia2 »

I have 3 Separate 3 requests, i'm putting this together because i don'want to flood this section with three separate posts.
1- Recently i've read a comment on an italian Facebook page that said that exist another view of the fatal crash of Gilles Villeneuve. So, someone has realy seen this footage? In many years i didin't see or heard of another view of that crash, so it seems strange to me.

2- i'm looking for the Gustavo Sondermann fatal crash, i remember seeing is crash on youtube, but the footage seems to be disapperead. I hope someone still have this crash.

3- Someone telled me that he saw (like three years ago) the infamous crash of Pastor Maldonado at Monaco in 2005. Someone has this video? i'm trying to reach the guy who send the video on the internet, if i have any updates i will edit this post.

EDIT: i've founded the Maldonado Crash, but the capper didn't gave me the permission to share the video.

1 - I've recently heard it as well, but I think he's seen another crash, and got confused about it (it happened to me as well, with the crash of Luigi Musso/Peter Collins (who was actually the video of Gerry Ashmore at Monza in 1961)).

2 - This one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgkKYgmuFTs

3 - Well, we've shared a lot of things we shouldn't have. Maybe you can do that by PM?

1- Yeah, it's possible. I've thinked the same thing.

2- Thank you, it's what i've been looking for. I've noticed that i mispelled sondermann when i've searched the video on Youtube, that's why i didn't find anything.

3- i can send it to you, but you can't post it anywhere else.

What's the Maldonado crash? I've never seen it. I assume it's the one that got him "banned".

The guy is a menace...

Correct. Maldonado crashed as a competitors car was being recovered by marshals under waved yellow flags, which resulted in a marshal breaking a leg.

I would like to see this video too, if you are happy with sharing via PM please?

Same here.

Didnt that crash actually result in Maldonado being banned from racing in Monaco? (Lifted/bought off later of course).

Pastor also used his car as a weapon in Monaco twice in F1, the first in practise on Perez in 2012, the second time a year later after putting Chilton in the wall and causing a red flag.

I would like to see the clip too. Can you please share it with us @mattia2?

By the way - the crash at Zolder above isn't Pastor Maldonado, I don't think Maldonado was even involved.

The blue car is that of Stefano Proetto (below). The other drivers are Alex Danielsson and Colin Fleming.
