THE LAST RACE OF COUNT CRASH
Sixty Years On | Sept. 10, 1961 (click here for video)
"While driving a Ferrari during the F1 Italian Grand Prix at Monza, Germany's Wolfgang von Trips, 33, crashed into the infield,
killing 18 spectators and himself. Eleven bystanders died at the scene, while 7 more of the 26 injured died later.
The crash happened on the second lap, when Von Trips was struck from behind by Jimmy Clark's Lotus. The race continued for the next two hours,
with the bodies of the dead covered with newspapers, not moved until after the race's end. Prior to the final race of the season,
Von Trips had been in the lead for the World Driving Championship. The race win, and the title, went instead to Phil Hill.." [wiki]
