I was young at the time so dont remember it specificly. But I always used to watch the races with my dad.
One question, what was all the sparks they used to get. specifically in the clip with him and mansel. Was it just that the cars were so low?

No i watched it because i wanted to see how Good he was and why it was such a shock when he Died.
Admittenly (sp) I also wanted to know how it happen,But im sure 1000's of other people also do,But unfornately nobody knows!
It was also Good to watch how diffrent (F1) was then to now!Non of all these regulations and stupid rules.Just pure Hardcore Deadication racing by the looks of things.

They hadn't declared him dead or even gravely injured at that point mind.
