1970 was Clay Regazzoni's rookie season. He jumped straight from Formula 2 into a Ferrari works seat. He only did 8 races, won 1 race (this one), and had 3 other podiums. He missed 5 races, though, and only finished 12 points behind posthumous champion Rindt. He probably would have easily won the world championship in his first year if he had raced the full season. He did end up winning the Formula 2 championship, though, in 1970. Strangely, the rest of his career did not live up to such a promising start, though he was decent racer.
I would suggest next time you get a digital copy of the file instead of filming it from a computer screen, also the sound is extremely thin and metallic sounding.This comes out as quite amateur looking to be honest. Duke will probably file a complaint of copyright claim on this upload, so it is not terribly wise to actually tag their name in the description of your video. Sorry for my blunt response but someone has to say it.
Wouldn't have helped. Rindt refused to wear a 4 point safety harness and he submarined forward massively on impact, so any crash would have been bad. Rindt hated Lotus like every driver who drove one even Jim Clarke, because Chapman built his cars so light and frail. Rindt wanted out at the end of the season because he thought they were dangerous.

@@lotus72e Duke is already in the description look
No racing team had a driver alert system in the cars cockpit, connected to the rear wing, in case of detachment at speed.
Yeah I know safety was a big problem in the 70's ❤
Pretty sure they still don't. You're a passenger at that point, just hope for the best.
The works Lotus’s ran without wings at Monza. A very low downforce setup that probably contributed to the crash. 😢
If a wing detaches at speed, the driver will obviously know it as soon as it happens. He'll be reacting before he notices any "driver alert system".
