      Brillinat from James ?... 0:26 he sayed "a very agressive stuff from Patrese" while it was clearly an agressive defensive move from Berger.
      Hunt was full of hatred towards Patrese until his death. He never changed his mind about Monza 1978, because if he had done so like anyone else at the time, he would have had to live with a terrible weight of guilt for Peterson's death. On the other hand, his opinions on Latin drivers were always marked by a certain amount of contempt and even racism. Even here after the accident at Estoril he put all the responsability on Patrese while it was all Bergers fault. Incredible how he was blinded by his own stupid bias

      It was scary to see this. Patrese just missed the bridge and the attenuated barrier at the end of the pit lane whilst flying at 160mph. Very lucky.
      Thierry Boutsen - the next man behind this pair, saw the whole thing, and thought Patrese was at least seriously injured, and recalled that he nearly got out of his car.

    In the 90's I lived right next door to the Donington circuit.... as an F1 fan in those days you could just wander in on non public test days with a nod from the team manager and stand by the car watching the team work.. and in some cases conversing with them... absolutely brilliant. One day I was up there and Ricardio was doing brake testing drives in the Williams. He went out early did two laps and came back in... all the mechanics looking at each other wondering why. I stood three feet away from Ricardo when he pulled the car into the pit and the mechanic asked him what was wrong... As a fan enthralled at the technical mastery of these highly paid drivers who knew how to undertake complex car set ups in order to win... I waited with baited breath for his wise techical feedback (the guy was on a million a season even in those days) .. He said to his mechanics.. and I quote ... 'It goes in the corner but it won't come out'.

    I miss actual fighting for positions not gifted DRS overtakes that cannot be defended. Anyway this accident is due to poor circuit design since the pit entry is off the main straight, Patrese had no idea Berger was going to enter the pits there.

    • @unclemick-synths

      @Heimo Manner He didn't have to but it was common (presumably not so much now with the raised cockpits) to signal that you were going in the pits by raising you hand as you pulled across/had mechanical issues etc. Even Berger said this and from then on made sure he made a point of doing it clearly. However in this instance with Patrese so close and determined to overtake he probably just thought Berger was defending by going off line and when he slowed for the pits was caught out. Still had good reaction as he nearly got clear.

    Then again, the weight and size of modern F1 cars would mean that the cars would be significantly slower, especially through corners, so would that be worth it?

      @@lwalker8785 at every pre-race briefing from tin tops to formula one, the Clerk of the Course politely requests all drivers let following competitors know they are about to leave the track to pit, when racing. They don't ask drivers to do that for fun, every time a car passes the pit road entrance the potential exists for them to take that route instead of the main track, thus making it possible for an unexpected deceleration in front of a car on full commitment. As for Patrese's reflexes, the average reaction time for all humans is about 0.1 second. The very fastest 5 percentile of population is around 0.08 seconds, so not much difference in real terms. If a different driver was in Patrese's position at that moment, they would have also collected Berger's car, unless he'd put his hand up on the previous straight, like a gentleman should. I'm no fan of either driver, but even if I hated Patrese with a passion, I couldn't let that emotion blind me to the fact that my more personally favoured driver baulked him and caused a highly dangerous accident.

      The starter of the race was responsible for the accident.
      He released the race too early, when the rear vehicles had not yet come to a standstill.
      Ricardo Patrese took his chance and accelerated immediately when the light turned green too early.
      Any racing driver would have done that to get to the front.
