Great Read: April 7, 1968. Hockenheim. The shock of Jim Clark's death |
December 2004 | David Tremayne |
At a time when racing fatalities were by no means uncommon, Jim Clark's death caused the biggest shock of all. Derek Bell, Max Mosley and Jackie Stewart recall that fateful day at Hockenheim in today's Great Read
Team personnel rubbed their hands together to ward off the frosty chill as they left their hotels for the short run to the Hockenheimring, the circuit close to Mannheim in Germany, on the morning of Sunday April 7, 1968.
The weather had been inclement all weekend, and their breath lingered in the crisp air. The sky was grey and overcast. It began to drizzle, and the hardy fans started to don their hats or turn up their coat collars. In such conditions, few circuits could match Hockenheim's gloom.

Mexico's six F1 drivers: tragic heroes, recent talents and a pay driver pioneer |
Only six Mexican drivers have ever raced in Formula 1 — but each has left their mark on the world championship. Matt Bishop looks back on their careers
Younger readers may possibly regard the Mexican Grand Prix as a new-ish thing, since, prior to its recommencement in 2015, it had not been a part of the Formula 1 world championship for a generation. But last Sunday's race, won faultlessly for Ferrari by Carlos Sainz, was the 24th world championship-status F1 Mexican Grand Prix, and, apart from a flurry of five (1988-1992) that were run in early summer, all of them have taken place at this time of year.
