The question is simple: How many drivers has been killed during a F1 GP race?

[D. Heimgartner]

Drop in by TNF, they'll be able to offer more help with this.

Why don't you do a search first. There's a bunch of threads on the subject. These for example. Not very structured, but it's all in there somewhere.

Why do you say such a thing? If anything, the people at TNF are most completely the opposite.

Er no, in TNF, we know the morbid stuff, but as prettyface says, we don't like it.

And it's comments like that which keep me and many others away from RC most of the time.

I think he was being sarcastic....

Amen

Well, a bit of both, actually. I guess I was referring to the "speeds ultimate price" thread at TNF. Currently there aren't any other 'morbid' threads up. But a few months ago, it was full of them (meaning 3 or 4).

4

Gilles Villeneuve
Ricardo Paletti
Roland Ratzenberger
Ayrton Senna

I consider practice and qualifying part of the race weekend.

[Rob29]

The original question said "during an F1 race" I have a list of 26 drivers who competed in F1 1954-60,but had died by the end of 1960.
