By way of making up for the delay in my reply, here's the last of six long clips of the race. There's a lot of footage here I've not seen before.
In only my first season in Formula One, I was involved in a crash on the public roads in which my car rolled several times, finally landing in a river. I was thrown out and broke my neck.

They ensured I was not moved by paramedics until the right equipment arrived by helicopter. Without them, I would probably have ended up as a quadriplegic.
Double jinx.
He broke both ankles in F1 crash, just to repeat bad luck at the same track two years later with two broken feet. Four years later he crashed really badly while rallying with multiple injuries including two broken legs. Now he is working as a F1's TV commentator. Who is he?
