This has been one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen, in almost 20 years in formula 1. A torro rosso with minardi DNA coursing through its veins, driven by a 21 year old hotshoot with a great sense of humour. It just makes you love formula 1 all over again… he’s about to take his first Grand Prix victory and become the youngest winner ever

# low valve Red five?

It was a moniker used for Nigel because he had a red number 5 on his car during his stint at Williams

#

it was unique because the other Williams would always have a white number

oblique dock
#

Nigel continued using the Red 5 when he went to Indycar

round swift
#

and won the title there as well, truly an exceptional driver all round

oblique dock
#

One of Indycar’s best rookies

round swift
#

and then he comes back to F1 as an IndyCar champion in '94 and wins races again, including the controversial Adelaide

oblique dock
#

Only this time, instead of using his signature Red 5, he used a Red 2

round swift
#

yeah, the 5 was taken by Michael and Benetton

#

I do wonder what could've happened had Williams retained him for '95, I don't think a championship struggle with Michael would've been out of question

oblique dock
#

But hey, if Mansell’s at Williams, then that means that Coulthard would join Mclaren 1 year early

round swift
#

DC did agree terms with McLaren for '95 because his understanding was that Nigel would be driving for Williams but then Frank pulled a Frank and decided to go for DC instead, leaving DC without any choice because he still had a binding contract with Williams

#

and Marlboro forced Ron into taking Nigel, we all know how that story went

oblique dock
#

And then throughout the 95 season you had Mark Blundell and J-Mag (briefly) partnering Hakkinen

#

DC didn't miss out on much anyway, MP4/10 was a wash for McLaren standards

"After the United States GP at Detroit last year, Bernie Ecclestone and the Mayor of Detroit told us how 1989 would see the Grand Prix held on a new permanent circuit built on an island in the Detroit River. Everyone cheered, being tired of the awful street circuit in downtown Detroit, but now the Belle Isle circuit is not going to be built, so that is the end of Detroit for the United States GP. Hurrah! some of us said and looked forward to a return to the majestic Osterreichring; but no, being first reserve means as much as being 51st reserve, and a circuit at Laguna Seca on the west coast of America is being got ready (we hope!) for the United States GP."

#

he was caught up in a multiple car crash due to the bad race start as the race was started before all the cars could line up orrectly in their grid positions

#

and as a result a bunch of cars got away well and horrible and Peterson fell down the order and Riccardo Patrese swerved away from the entry to the old banking and into James Hunt who went into Ronnie Peterson

#

Petersons car went across the track into the barrier and caught on fire

#

and Arturo Merzario (I think) was hit in the head with a wheel and knocked into a coma but survived

#

and James Hunt got Peterson out of the crash

#

Peterson initially looked to recover well as he sustained many fractures on his legs but looked minor

#

but fat leaked into his blood and died of a fat embolism overnight at the hospital

#

Patrese was blamed by a lot of the drivers for the incident and was even accused of murder but the charges were dropped because he had no control of the crash
