Das vergessene Opfer der Formel 1 - Elio de Angelis

Lap 38 in Monaco…just before the halfway point of the Grand Prix…and the proud Brabham team is already packing up…both cars have retired… The new Brabham BT55 is a disaster…on paper, the revolutionary car designed by Brabham's Gordon Murray looks good…but in the race, the car simply doesn't work…in the first three races of the 1986 season, they barely managed to finish…otherwise, just retirements for drivers Riccardo Patrese and Elio de Angelis…and now, at the race in the Principality, things aren't any better… At least the team doesn't have far to go…testing is scheduled in just three days at the Circuit Paul Ricard…only about 200km from Monaco…almost all the teams will be there…but mostly with only one driver…Patrese is actually assigned to the test at Brabham…but his teammate Elio de Angelis wants to continue testing the BT55… The drivers hate the track in Southern France…in 1986, they were still running the big loop with the 1.8km Mistral straight, without a chicane in the middle section…and so, with the turbos, they reached speeds of over 320km/h…but even more dangerous was La Verrière…a fast left-right corner shortly after the start/finish line…which you took flat out at around 270km/h without lifting off the throttle…that is, without even letting off the gas… And to top it all off, safety precautions at F1 test sessions in the 80s were extremely inadequate…marshers in T-shirts and shorts…insufficient fire extinguishers…no rescue helicopter…and the F1 race doctor…Prof. Sid Watkins…is also not present… Everything was set up for a catastrophe that…because no cameras captured it…was barely noticed by many motorsport fans and is almost forgotten to this day…with one of the most senseless victims in F1 history…Elio de Angelis… Like & Subscribe for more Formula 1 videos:    / @nabravoo   Sources: https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/ https://www.motorsport-total.com/ https://primotipo.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/ https://www.formelaustria.at/    / @f-won_racing   https://sfcriga.com/ https://de.wikipedia.org/ INFO: This video is for entertainment and informational purposes only.
