Formula one World Champion in 1917. His dashing style and confidence on the track had wowed the motor sports world and the reigning champion at the time Jackie Stewart was no exception or worry about. What i really think youre up to and also one of my best friends. To a slow start in formula one the young german born race ahead also won the grudging respect of his lotus teammate 2 time World Champion graham hill just too used to very good as a driver. Down to his persona also captured the hearts of adoring fans across europe. On and off the track the young racing driver was acquiring the aura and style of a hollywood movie star. On september 5th 970. 00 just a month and got into his car for a Training Session at the italian g. P. In months. He would not return. Because it was on the track side back then in monza as a reporter and as a friend of johns and. Hes still a true car enthusiast especially old sports cars. So i could follow the career of his fellow austrian from the outset 1st as a newspaper reporter and then for television. You know from what happened the engine died on fortunately. There was any kind of a smart to ship or soon he was a charismatic figure in the suit was for me he was like the james dean of motor racing. Hollywood to kind of drive a hollywood might have dreamt of for his state. For his adopted country austria was the 1st really big sports star. Covering major Sports Events in the 1960 s. Was a task that fell to lucky smiths life now a producer and director for Austrian Television. Like him would speak schmidt like no company at the rise of your commitment. He was witness to some of the ambitious Young Drivers early break 3. 4. To follow which is between milan and turin to work at thats where for a male test track watch. Your who is do you often only need is it 10 laps to destroy the track record of. Torture thats how he often wants. This whether your. Client was born in mines germany in 914 his mother and father were killed in an allied air raid and he was brought up by his grandparents in the austrian city of cards having inherited his fathers spice factory and did not struggle financially. How was a v. W. Beetle which he drive in races with friends before he even had a driving license and racing was what he trained on. He competed for the 1st time in 961. 00 in a sim come monthly then it was shaping up to be a hot shot with talent to spare we now have evan supply how long will you need to get close to someone like hill around or clark clark. Then if i do really well and have a lot of luck maybe in 2 years time we need to get by have the right car on that i might never make it here there might come a point where i cant go any further than me and i think his 1st crash came in the 1963 in a formula junior race on the new book ring he was not seriously injured but his confidence was badly shaken harvey took a few of them i took him down to the hospital and i dont know when the media giggling and that is lying in his bed he said to me im not made for racing that was a warning shot today and i should quit of her. But for the end the thrill of speed was too much to resist. In 964 he joined the formula one circus making his debut at the austrian grand prix in said week behind the wheel of a breath im. Going to force his way up to 5th place before his steering broke but Team Director john cooper was mightily impressed by the rookie. And following a series of mistakes by the 61 World Champion full hill to put aside and to replace the american with your commitment. In an informer is driving a formula one car much different from a lower racing class my book. For mans college race just means more of the says formula one means racing to be World Champions of which is the ultimate prize. It also meant risking ones life in pursuit of that prize clint was determined to become World Champion and started to work his way up the ranks. In the 960 s. Formula one drivers still had to top up their income by driving in other races from sports cars to formula 2 then drove anything that had 4 wheels and pace sometimes competing in 3 races a day. And still have time for drifting with his own jack but in time. 965. 00 under stomach issues die down the drama intensified at night as the race barely slowed down and behind the wheel of one pary youre going to rent to use the night time to overtake one car after the next from 18 spot by dawn he was in 3rd and then 2nd thing and they done 8 in done titusville and. Come up to my own car number 21 piloted by reenter the american gregory took to the front. And heres the winning team thinks gregory on the left and orange on the right. There are more than a 1000000 photos in the archives of. The accomplished german Motion Sports photography had a special eye for york in the current in 1965 that focus also turned to a young woman nina lincoln a finnish model and your sentence fiance. After all of a real head turner and not just for photographers yes very attractive woman model always nice to be styled. In 1967 the couple tied the knot in 1968 they toss in a touch it was. I know just an inspiration for cons had grown beyond the race track. And 960 fine he said of his very own lives he shared. His popularity drink plenty of big names then ted also seen the financial potential involved both for me that the people ask why i compete in races on the field i do it with 3 reasons as holby has a hobby a support and a business as whole be it for me it began as a hobby and supporting terms it means a serious physical challenge and you know and thank god you can also earn money with it being. The 1st race in the torch lunch formula 2 has been overshadowed by a tragic accident i ask you all now please to stand is. James clark the 2 time World Champion and winner of 25. 00 has done. The most for years and i often felt like a war reporter and every 2nd or 3rd race there was a fatality hudson into t. V. One funky keep. Missing from the feeling racing is dangerous thats obvious and because its dangerous were all afraid naturally as there are Different Levels of the audience from the fear that can paralyze you or fear that makes you aware how dangerous it is you just have to deal with it in the middle and thats how it is with racing drivers and so therefore those its not only the drive it is who have to find ways of coping with the fear and danger a formula one race is. Yes nina rent is interviewed again and again about how it feels to be the wife of a formula one racing driver and what shes afraid of as here on German Television all concerned to back you. Think an accident in duration how do i feel. Jim clark had died at the wheel of a lotus that team founded by Colin Chapman now needed a new driver and the man they chose was your. Yeah so you switched to lotus. I remember sitting in a bar in vienna and he said at lotus ill either become World Champion or ill die trying. This is so easy took that risk yes it was the part with the devil. May be your lead in that its not about winning a grand prix becoming World Champion. Ok so i havent won a grand prix yet but that shouldnt be a problem for. The 969 spanish can plead was a street circuits where the teens use tie real wings the high downforce was meant to produce extremely fast cornering but the technology was controversial then started from pole position and left the field until that 20 when his real wing collapsed leaving him unable to control his car. Then to hit the barriers at the same spot as his team mates graeme hill who crashed 11 laps early. Although hill emerged unscathed his car had remained on the side of the track didnt hit that wreckage at 200 Kilometers Per Hour the austrian was fortunate to only sustain a broken nose and concussion. Among us all because the car was so destroyed it was hard to believe anyone had survived that sort of it was completely irresponsible to send the. Drivers are trying to the truck with a set up before these are taken to go fish like a sushi does if were using the windsor madness they shouldnt be allowed on racing cars about getting chapman to see any sense it is impossible to get in there. The crash of both cars and identical fashion put the spotlight on lotus boss Collin Chapman and the tensions within the team. Which only exposed my drivers to changes which they should have expected i blamed him and rightly so he should have worked out that the wing would break which he did do later. In now can i get mucked up if you are much more complicated person to get along to me both. To say very much different in character. Jimmy was sort of shall we say barter more introverted and you can bet theyre both wonderful drivers and wonderful but you get on with the running how would you describe Colin Chapmans character the background. Very difficult character. Im a force he wants to win but sometimes theres a difference between how he and i want to win which is probably why we argue a lot. Just so thats the formula one show has to go on relations between events and his boss remains frosty. Chason had built the fastest car and this was the best. He also started from pole and took the best lap times with his spectacular driving style. But the technical problems with. The questions were always the same. As what happened the x. Is a semi actual broke its a universal joint and it just now. I mean these things keep happening to you or you may be pushing the car too much too much to show. Maybe i better see the semi actual goes half way down the street when there is the least force then its got nothing to do with me. As the Season Finale in the us on 3 and whats kims lend their window such problems couldnt finally took the prize checkered flag and responded in typically troll fashion. York new york and then 1st grand prix when. I didnt dare think i might when somethings bound to go wrong or run out of gas or lose a wheel or whatever ill leave today for the evening. But could now dead to believe as the 970. 00 season progressed the latest remained stable and clint was outstanding. The monaco concretely would be a tactical masterclass with former champion jack brabham and that leaves the edge close waiting to pounce on the slightest mistake. One where fanfare and robin runs into the crash barriers leaving the way clear for your comment thats the 2nd grand prix window the austrian the race of his life today the family. Just didnt was the best driver but it was at the wheel of a notice put together back home in chapman. Many 1st a sort of you said this and my biggest fear is something breaking. As i feel im good enough not to make any mistakes the kind of thing thats a mocking you know but im not sure if i can control the car if something goes wrong with some of the shit you. Ninos me into was constantly at trackside such as here in sanford on june 21st 970 the dutch called peak your husband was again the fastest man and led the field. Then the ominous signs of black smoke another crash and the fear. Is that. It. As a young english carriage his car crashed and went up in flames. Down causing the accident happened behind me i saw the car and claims on my next. Entire area was on fire after a crash like that its not easy to carry on concentrating she integrals from the end. But the race was completed regardless of the death of a friend and colleague then came fast and had difficulty fighting back the team. You drove only stone for i just lost a friend it was a huge shock. I want to see racing be as safe as possible and that the organizers make the track safer. And they need to finally understand that this is essential for racing to continue to see have it. Would you ask your wife that same question. If you could have one wish what would it be. Based. Thats when it was moving closer to his dream he went on to win the next 2 races as well. As head of the German Companies the drivers threaten the boycott insisting that they knew the ring was too dangerous just and didnt as they ever did not mince his words as he and his colleagues demanded a change of venue. And said i guarantee the new bickering was surprised by this agenda just read to its people organizers job to ensure the tracks are safe not ours and those deranged exegesis basically now like the police having to help out no fear of the race was moved to the hockenheim ring in front of 120000 spectators his friends jackie its in the early stages they think thats only for shout a pulse a seen 3 way battle for victory 3 laps to go now jackie x. s back in front jackie x. Person your kind of end in 2nd. Are just the best of them here one of the best races ive ever seen clever go the way he battled with jackie exum clay record so you believe kept changing it was an amazing race and a good clue as to who had become World Champion from up it up over boston. It was races like this that cemented to inspect your taste after 4 straight whips he had a 20 point lead in the drive this down to me. Going down the. Young men young men ruined when is the german grand prix increasing his championship tally to 45 points. Since may have been brash behind the wheel but as he was no playboy. Away from the track they were no scandals. Just nina and the young daughter natasha. But on the track questions about Driver Safety and the risk of a fatal accident i didnt come away. With this remember there are rumors going around that you retire if you Will Champion this year is that true is very very stick to facts not rumors. You know cut us off really was thinking about stopping the series and all the risks you have. Over 16970. 00 the austrian campaign the crowds were massive it seemed the whole country wanted to see this approaching heroes arent carrying mr rains were still america. Does then another race of the earth the vice ring was the highlight of a can mania mania he had the entire country behind him and get through. Everything about so im convinced that if you beat the ferraris a monster the crowd there will because you can pay for them i. Dont know so and so so but 1st i have to win thats the problem because we know that the next stop on his quest to take the formula one crown was monza italy on september 5th 917. And then stood a good chance of stealing the show from the ferraris on the whole time. He had plenty of fans here change due to his personal and trying style. Right by to meet our life in iraq this has been underway here at monza since noon for sundays 41st grand premeal italia and raimi are entirely are. Waiting in the picture line at latest nina and she often. He was looking to says a good nap time and check what the truck was looking like while finding the time to reports from Austrian Television monkeys be on the monitors known as a very fast circuit using the slipstream is vital which is why most cars are driving without wings you do bush it was just really loud because practice he had already started leaving them to be the turbine powered car is very promising that but i dont think its ready for a World Championship yet many made that. The of took that to law i said it was all too loud except he said it doesnt matter ill just do a couple of laps and then well try again. Who had the late i was the last person to talk to him.
