Recently, Paul-Henri Cahier posted a story on Facebook. Cahier, as a leading F1 photographer, has followed in the footsteps of his late father, Bernard, an influential and well-connected figure in international motor sport from 1952 until the 1990s.
Among his many roles, Cahier was adviser to Goodyear at the time of tyre company's pre-eminence in world motor sport. Cahier would have brought his son's attention to the following letter that many of us missed when published by an American magazine 21 years ago. This is Paul-Henri's post:
Fred Gamble, Goodyear International Racing Director in the 60's, wrote to ON TRACK magazine and, in the 23 May '93 issue, his letter - headed "Time For The Truth" - was published. This what Fred had to say.
"Concerning the circumstances of Jimmy Clark's death...maybe it is time the truth is told. I was privileged to be a part of that era and a friend of Jimmy's, so was just as devastated as everyone else when he was killed. His car had a rear suspension failure; sadly one of the frequent and well-known results of the brilliant but fragile Lotus cars of that era.
I was Goodyear's first director of international racing at the time and, as Firestone was contracted to Lotus, after the accident and rumors of a tire failure, Firestone engineers showed me the tire off the Clark car, not deflated or failed, but obviously dragged sideways after a suspension failure. Jimmy would have had a chance of dealing with a puncture and deflation but suspension failure, no way could he have controlled the car.
I can understand Firestone not wanting to 'blame' Lotus car failure because of their corporate relationship with Lotus and Colin Chapman...I think those of us in the sport at the time who knew the details of Jimmy's death have probably kept quiet out of respect for Colin Chapman's brilliance as a designer, but more because the great Jim Clark was like a son to Chapman. I'm sure Chapman knew the cause of the accident but to have been publicly condemned for a fragile design failure might have been emotionally too much for Colin to bear."
i onda je nakon pobjede ralf komentiro nešto u stilu kako jpm nije potresen kao on zbog događaja u new yourku, pa da je pobijedio.Frantic je napisao/la:JPM je na današnji dan 2001. ostvario svoju prvu pobjedu, na VN Italije, startavši s PPa.
Osim toga trka će ostati zapamćena po atmosferi nakon 11.09.2001. (New York, WTC), i nije bilo proslave na podiju, kao ni defilea vozača prije trke, te mnogih ostalih "veselih" stvari.
Ferrarijevi bolidi su nastupili bez reklama i sa crnim nosevima, Jaguarovi su imali crni pokrov motora a kod Jordana je na tom mjestu bila USA zastava.
Ne Daytona, tripl kruna je Monako, Indianapolis 500 i 24h Le Mana.Felipe je napisao/la:I bio u Austinu na utrci WEC-a i kako izvori navode zatražio test u LMP1 bolidu, i čini se da će se tripleta (Monaco, Daytona, Le Mans) ipak dogoditi.

Upravo to.Ferrari1345 je napisao/la:Schumacher je ionako proglašen krivim te je bačen skroz iza. Sam sebe je kaznio, dok za ovo drugo bolje da ne rečem ništa
zanimljiv podatak. znam da hamilton ima barem pobjedu u svakoj sezoni u kojoj je nastupio.Marros je napisao/la: I još jedan Michaelov rekord kojeg on drži. 15 uzastopnih sezona sa bar jednom pobijedom na svom računu.
