1. Farewell François, you will never be forgotten

2. Francois had one of the most beautiful helmet designs, ever!! RIP. Thank you Sky F1 for this episode.

3. Merci de perpétuer sa mémoire 👍

4. Rest in peace.

5. François will always bring attention, he's magnetic.
   Sir Jackie is a fantastic living legacy. He has lived through so much on and off the track, with friends and family. He deserves to enjoy his retirement.

6. The circumstances of Cevert’s death due to the car penetrating the Armco barriers are bad enough but it is nothing short of scandalous that Helmuth Koinigg died in just the same way at the same circuit the following year.

7. Formula one drivers of today are very selfish and lack humility, they could learn a lot from people like Francois and Jackie.

8. Terribly sad. JYS an international treasure.

9. From a time when there was proper respect between teammates

10. A talent that was taken too soon – very much like Stefan Bellof 😢

11. His fatal crash is similar to what happened with Grosjean 3 years ago.

12. In one sense a tragic waste of a talented racing driver,and a well rounded human being.But no one knows the danger more than the driver this is what he wanted to do with his life RIP

13. Thank you

14. i belive that another french driver few years before he would have the same almost accindent and the same result.but he was lucky becouse HALLO save his life at bahrain.grozian his name.

15. What in the world?

16. Alguns pontos que gostaria de contribuir, onde vou escrever bem pouco no que diz no campo espiritual, que foi onde em um grupo espírita francês foi citado sobre ele e sua missão, mas principalmente no campo esportivo que é pertinente ao canal.

    Sou de 1980, mas no programa GRANDES MOMENTOS DO ESPORTE foi onde vi ele pela primeira vez,
    
    1º em um documentário falando sobre acidentes na F1 no início dos anos 90, onde falo que a TV em preto-e-branco aparecendo sua imagem com aqueles olhos azuis me assustaram e impactaram, mas em 1993 nos 20 anos de sua partida no mesmo programa e com narração do Celso Miranda, ali quis saber mais sobre ele mesmo sem a internet o que foi difícil mas consegui como disse com o tempo e por ligações espirituais.

    Só nessa parte, quero falar que o grande amor da sua vida se chamava “Ninou”, e por meio de uma cartomante ela soube que o grande amor de sua vida não chegaria aos 30 anos, e que ele também já tinha uma noção disso quase que como um Jimi Hendrix ou Jim Morrison das pistas, hoje Ninou tem em seu acervo e tenho em jpeg´s. Imagens de seu cartão de crédito, passaporte e agenda pessoal planejando o que fazer após WG e a chave de seu último dormitório. Sua casa também pelo google maps é possível ver, hoje é uma rua comercial.

    Voltando ao âmbito esportivo gostaira de confirmar com informações que teria que vasculhar meus arquivos mas creio que se encontra na internet mas que fiquem a vontade em corrigir de forma respeitosa.

    – A globo não levou equipe para a corrida pois como estava definida o campeonato era necessário pensar no orçamento, além do “Galvão Bueno” da época morrer em um desastre aéreo. Júlio Delamare.

    – Se cogitou que ele também poderia estar de ressaca no dia, na noite anterior ele ficou até tarde com Jackie, Helen e seu cunhado falando desde Muhammad Ali, férias e sobre a “passagem do cetro”. O casal saiu antes e Cevert ficou com JP Beltoise mais um pouco no hall.

    -Em 1974 estava sendo desenhado um 3º piloto mas que saindo Jackie se tornaria o “pupilo” de Cevert, juro não lembrar o nome e a categoria creio que alguma fórmula inglesa, mas ele também morreu degolado em uma corrida, no caso foi em árvores.

    – Tenho em VHS, reportagens de Emerson Fittipaldi isso em 2008,9 por aí ele falando do Cevert no Amauri Jr e mesmo assim ainda arrancou lágrimas tamanho o carinho, a F1 a morte era uma companheira, mas Cevert foi o 1º que todo o circo sentiu, tem um relato do JP Beltoise falando sobre como foi recolher os pertences dele, como disse, hoje parte no acervo de Ninou.

    -Outra Citação que vi e tem no youtube foi do “pofexô” Vanderlei Luxemburgo em 1997 citando ele como motivo para assistir as corridas e do Gil Brother “away” onde em um podcast falou de grandes pilotos e falou de nomes como: Reggazoni, Peterson, Giovanni Salvatti e François Cevert.

    É isso, não sou de fazer textão, mas não posso deixar de contribuir e falar de alguém que como disse, não se trata de falar apenas de um piloto, em outros fóruns falo do homem, do ser de Luz e de sua missão em outros planos. Mas aqui é o grande François Cevert, que em um ano muito cabuloso levou gênios como Jarno Saarinen e Bruce Lee.

    Abs. a todos.

17. He was a fundamental influence on my life…..met him as an 11 year old at Mosport….my father had a pit pass and I spent a couple of hours watching him and the Tyrrell mechanics sorting gearbox issues on his and Stewart's cars….he was generous with his time for a young boy and on race day, winked at me from the cockpit…..I was then a committed Cevert fan and begged my father to take me to Watkins Glen two weeks later….I remember the open tears amongst fans and my feelings of shock that he was gone…and the long, silent ride home to Toronto in the car, watching the scenery pass….and thinking that death was real, not something on TV. A turning point. Didn't follow F1 in 1974, but came back in 1975…..but the loss of my hero was something important. Can't believe it's been 50 years

18. . Pianiste & Fast..🙄⚡🌿

19. Lovely tribute Jackie, what a shame.

20. People compare drivers of different eras in some hope of justifying to themselves who they think is the best. This era of F1 was so much about 'one mistake and you are dead' that to be champion three times back then was such an achievement that we cannot really quantify it. Stewart was not only one of the greats, he won in a dangerous era, made few mistakes, and worked tirelessly to make the sport safer for everyone.
    Cevert never got the chance to prove himself, a tragedy in itself, but he will always be remembered and celebrated for the person he was, and he certainly lit up the circus of F1 back then. RIP Francois.

21. So sad i am old enough to remember this talented young man,what a tragic loss!

22. He answered that by winning the sprint race the next day

23. Thank you for this lovely tribute

24. Good driver, though had he lived, in my opinion I think he would have struggled to become a world champion, he had great driving ability but really benefited from Stewart's presence in setting up the car. The fighting racer instinct in him also didnt seem to be consistent or as strong compared with other racers at that time and from 74 and onwards the likes of Fittipaldi, Scheckter Andretti, Peterson, Hunt, Lauda were either on the scene or coming onto the scene. Personally I dont think his ability would have got the better over those racers for a championship.

25. Just a better class of character in those days.

26. I'm 77 years old. I was 27 and, unlike most Americans and even American motor racing fans, a follower and huge fan of Formula 1. I was absolutely crushed when Jim Clark was killed. But somehow I was even more crushed when Francois Cevert was killed. Maybe it was because of so much promise unfulfilled. Maybe it was Francois was who we all wanted to be. Ridiculously talented (I remembered the story of him playing Chopin on the piano in the lobby of a hotel where a lot of the drivers were staying), ridiculously good looking yet never generating resentments commonly displayed by others so jealous, and those eyes that you could not help but notice. 50 years later, watching this brief documentary, it still brought tears to my eyes.

27. Great driver! The barriers at Watkins Glen were ridiculous for F1 cars. 🏁

28. Stewart knew that the badly mounted guardreils in Watkins Glen were dangerous. He did nothing to change that.

29. thanks for this beautiful tribute!

30. francois. forever remembered as a young man

31. 4:04 – I wonder if Jo Ramirez ever had a talk with Senna after his infamous interview with Sir Jackie in Adelaide after the race in Suzuka 1990, to explain to him firsthand why Jackie felt the way he did about safety and what he had personally witnessed over the course of his professional career, to maybe offer Senna a unique perspective a few years earlier.

32. Francois was definitely cut out for the f1 life of the 60’s and 70’s he liked his ladies was fearless and a talented driver that was taken too soon 🙏

33. 0:10: 🏎️ The video is about a racing driver named François Cevert and his impact on the people around him.

    Recap by Tammy AI

34. I liked his decapitation in Rush

35. Exciting ? He’s dead !

36. kinda looks like Cillian Murphy

37. I watched his story by an Italian YouTuber, it made me so sad, life cut short so fast.

38. Opens Roads François, 🏁 Remembering you… 50 years gone today x 💙

39. What a team, what a team mate. RIP Francois.

40. When was this broadcast? Mark Hughes isn't with Autosport now.

41. I remember his crash to this day. Over more than 28 years of involvement in motorsports, there are only three other on track deaths that have touched me as deeply. He was a driver on the cusp of greatness, but motor racing has always been a fickle mistress. Missed, but never forgotten!

42. Thank you.

43. I was the.there…..50 years ago..Sad..RIP Francois

44. not passing a driver for missing a gear
    gentleman like conducts like that
    will never happen today
    sad but true

45. This guys death stopped 10000 children being conceived . A moments silence for those that could have been

46. A tragedy how Cevert died but the work which Stewart did to improve the safety in motorsport was such a tribute.
    The 1970 March Tyrrell is at the British motor museum where I work and I often talk to visitors about these two.
