Brazilian driver José Carlos Pace celebrates the only F1 win of his career the 1975 Grande Prêmio do Brasil at Interlagos. Carlos was driving for Bernie Ecclestone's Brabham racing team. Pace was killed in a private light aircraft accident near São Paulo, Brazil on March. 18th, 1977. This occurred only 13 days after fellow F1 driver Tom Pryce and marshal Jansen Van Vuuren lost their lives during the 1977 South African Grand Prix. In 1985 Autódromo de Interlagos was renamed Autódromo José Carlos Pace in honour of him.

Not a good anniversary. I really wish that hadn't happened.

Not a good anniversary. I really wish that hadn't happened. Yeah ultimately Massa losing the championship can be pointed to 2 things. Blowing up in Hungary with 3 laps to go with a 15 second lead and Renault's Crashgate at Singapore which destroyed Felipe's race. |

Felipe deserved it more that year. He beat Hamilton in wins and laps led.

This Brazilian Track and Grand Prix is my favorite on the F1 calendar. And with the championship off the table, no team orders have to come into play.

From Martin Brundle
”The car had a throttle mechanism that was geared, and at Interlagos the gears kept jamming. So I spent the weekend flying off the road with the throttle stuck open. I was having quite a good race, and I got past people like Jos Verstappen and Eddie Irvine. And then it did its party trick of throwing its flywheel off, which it did on a number of occasions. Ron was on the radio saying. “Try to get it back to the pits.”
And then I found myself in a gravel trap, and I couldn't work out what was going on or how I'd got there. I'd had a big accident basically, and been hit on the head by Verstappen's car. There was a big mark on my helmet, but luckily for me the rollover hoop took a lot of the energy. It was the closest I ever came to dying in a racing car.
I collected myself and started to walk back to the pits. I collapsed, and I crawled back. The marshals were all looking at the track, and I couldn't attract their attention – I wanted some water. I eventually got back to the pits, did the debrief, and got on the plane home. This was before we had as much knowledge of concussion as we have now. A full week later my family said to me, “We're taking you to the hospital, you're not right.” And I wasn't, I was heavily concussed, although I was still able to do the next race.”

That was a crazy wreck. Another reason why the addition of the halo is good for the sport. Brundle got incredibly lucky that day.
