Can it really be 39 years since handsome & talented Elio de Angelis succumbed to injuries sustained testing a Brabham at Paul Ricard? Yes, he died in hospital of smoke inhalation complications #OnThisDay in ’86, the day after what should have been a relatively minor shunt.

Remembering the great Mike Hailwood, good in cars & mighty on bikes, who died on his way to buy fish ’n’ chips #OnThisDay in ’81, aged 40, as a result of a road-car crash caused by a careless lorry driver, as did his daughter, aged 9. He’s one of motorsport’s all-time heroes.
