Video Description

It's a high-tech, high-stakes chess match on wheels. Leaders swap repeatedly in the game of pit strategy and fuel conservation. Telemetry data pours into the pits to be analyzed for the slightest adjustments. Driver concentration must be flawless as the cars dance on the razor's edge of control. In a sport where millionths of a second separate podium spots, the risks are great but the glory is higher for those who can master both car and course. Formula 1 uniquely mixes danger, cutting-edge technology, strategy, and split-second decision making into the highest level race on the planet. When you place 20 courageous drivers on race tracks built for high speeds and tight cornering, you’re bound to be left with some fatalities. Since its inception, about 52 drivers have died on the hot tar of the circuit, and this number doesn’t include marshals and spectators. Strap in for a wild ride as we take a look at some of the worst F1 fatalities in the history of this extreme motorsport. ----------------------------------------------------- Thanks for watching.
