  • From this group Hill (plane crash), Moser (accident at Monza) and Hulme (heart attack at the wheel during the 1992 Bathurst race) would all also die early. Report Abuse
  • It's a commentary on the time, but 4 years after the Q9 photo was taken, 6 of the drivers were dead (Siffert, Courage, McLaren, Rodriguez, Bonnier, Rindt) and 2 others had had their F1 careers all-but finished by accidents (Oliver & Elford) . Report Abuse
