Formula One World Championship: The immediate aftermath of the multi-car accident at the start of the race: Ronnie Peterson (SWE) Lotus (Yellow overalls) lies in the track having been pulled from his shattered, burning, Lotus 78, and is tended to by marshals. James Hunt (GBR) McLaren (Black helmet, white overalls) beckons for urgent help for Peterson. Clay Regazzoni (SUI) Ensign (Red Overalls) and marshalls attend the stricken Vittorio Brambilla (ITA) (Right), who is beside his Surtees TS20 after suffering a serious head injury from which he fully recovered. Bruno Giacomelli (ITA) (Below Orange Surtees TS20) looks back at the accident scene and Derek Daly (IRE) Ensign (Blue overalls top of picture) walks from his car. Tragically, Peterson would die from a blood clot following an operation in hospital on his badly broken legs. Italian Grand Prix, Rd 14, Monza, Italy, 10 September 1978. BEST IMAGE
