what about those people on the outside right in the braking zone where there is no guard rail, any brake failure or slight oversteering there and it was a tragedy |

Because they respected everything, because every screw up could cost their lives. Today, the biggest fuckups doesn't even end up as a DNF. |

The year before this, Lorenzo Bandini was killed in Monaco after clipping a kerb and then a lamppost. Drivers were furious at the way the marshals failed to help quickly enough, and that their requests for actual barriers around the harbour (rather than hay bales) were ignored. There's a good Nigel Roebuck column on it this week. Chris Amon wrote: "It disgusted everyone," said Amon, "that they made such a bloody mess of trying to put the fire out. "As well as that, they'd ignored our request for guardrails on the harbourfront, and just had strawbales there. After the accident, of course, they did put guardrails in - if we'd had them in '67 Lorenzo would have got away without a scratch..." 'Respect for track limits' is definitely some distance from 'Street furniture on a racetrack is fine'. |

There's a good Nigel Roebuck column on it this week. I think that photo IS form 1967. Ferrari boycotted Monaco in 1968 because they didn't think they had taken enough safety precautions. I think they demanded guard rails all the way down to Tabac. 1968:  I can't find a photo of the sea front from 1969, but they were back then. This is how it looked like in 1970:

Yeah, the photo is from 67 according to Google image search - I thought that it was Bandini in 66 at first, hence being reminded. Good finds, though - shows how slowly anything happened in 60s F1! |

Another fun stat is that Stroll is the first non-Villeneuve Canadian that has scored points, or got on the podium in an F1 race. |

Stroll, Jacques, and Gilles all scored podium in their first year as well. Not counting 1977 for Gilles. The funny thing is, it took Gilles more races to get a podium than it did for Lance. |
