Is it just me, or does Sid Watkins (who appears in a lot of F1 crash stories) deserve a hell of a lot more recognition than he gets. There should be a real, lasting and yearly tribute to this man.

That Kenny Brack crash was really massive...

Here is one of Martin Brundle at Australia GP back in 1996. Jacques Villeneuve had also similar accident at this place but one marshal was killed then :(

Buy his book "Life at the limit", it is a really good one (I've read it)! :)

I forget the year, but this crash with Eddie Irvine in Brazil. Was it Martin Brundle who got hit on the head?

Actually MB was in quiet a few big accidents in his career. He for sure has used up a few of his 9 lives.
