"It all happened so fast. I turned into Woodcote, saw all the dust flying about I and got on brakes, but everything was cold because it was only the first lap. I started to slide towards the dust and I was aiming for the pit wall, thinking there wouldn’t be any cars about there. But I had to swerve to miss the back of one car, then there was another one and nowhere for me to go. I took off, hit Jody Schekter’s car, then the pit wall and ended under the bridge. All the drivers were just glad there was no fire because we all had full tanks, of course." - Roger Williamson
It's amazing how basic and simple the garage/ mechanics area was compared to the very lavish and costly f1 garages are today.

The crash was in the "Grandstand" title sequence for years afterward!
At 4:54 Roger Williamson walks left to right in the red overalls. Two weeks later...
Um 4:54?! Are you sure?

Jacky stewart was not in the lead. Petersen was. Crappy sound track.
Anyone has a time machine?
