Mechanical failure, lethal track design, fire and incompetence snuffed out dozens of eager young drivers, who had become almost expendable. It was the'60s and early'70s and this waste of life was often televised for millions to see.
With boycotts of the prestigious Belgian and German Grand Prix, drivers fought to get their voices heard but it would be a long and painful time before conditions changed.
This is the story of when Grand Prix was out of control.
Fueaturing many famous drivers including three World Champions.
