I could not find the thread about the recent (for me disappointing) Sky Documentary portraying Jochen Rindt, and I also don't know if this should be in the Nostalgia Forum... It is a special Austrian broadcast two days after Jochen's demise at Monza 1970. It is heart wrenching, because all the participants in the program had been preparing a special program to celebrate Rindt's success in F1... and now they had to use the footage for an eulogy... Very poignant is how the journalist who had one short interview with Rindt before his death says: 'Jochen said that he would like to do our interview again, when he came back.' And then he says: 'Film los, bitte,' which means 'Roll the tape,'. Almost angry and insulted by fate.

Warning: it is all in German...

Yeah, but I've got the impression that the traumatised Austrian journalists meant it in a totally different way than we... were they not referring to the mortality rate of the drivers instead of the dominance of commercialism?
