He lost control of the car because of a mechanical failure. The crash its self was survivable. But what actually killed him was he never secured the crotch straps on his six point harness, was plunged violently forward into the cockpit, severing his jugular vein on it's main buckle. He had no chance of surviving.
5 settembre 1970. Era il secondo giorno delle prove a Monza. La sera per caso mi recai dai miei vicini e il televisore era atteso sul telegiornale. Pochi istanti e vidi la sua foto. Tutto mi apparve chiaro. Era morto il mio campione preferito, il pilota che era in testa alla classifica del mondiale di Formula 1. Poi quel mondiale lo vinse In pratica alla memoria!
¡Un documento audiovisual de valor incalculable! Siempre había oído y leído sobre el accidente, pero hoy 16 de Octubre 2015 es la primera vez que veo tantos detalles previos sobre el mismo: Jochen Rindt antes de subir al inseguro Lotus 72, Nina Lincoln, su esposa, a la expectativa en el box y Jackie Stewart teniéndo que dar la mala noticia ¡Cómo se habrá sentido de triste el entonces piloto escocés!
Still cannot believe Jochen Rindt was taken from this world during qualifying for the Italian GP at Monza - the very race he was to be crowned World Champion (only driver awarded the Title posthumously in history). He was fantastically quick & massively talented. Really nice guy too. His car undoubtedly suffered a failure as he (like Jim Clark before him) was just too good to make a mistake. Had he had his harness on properly, been in the Lotus 49 instead of the 72, has the guard rail been bolted together correctly & had he NOT been taken to the wrong fucking hospital (it was closed!) - he'd most likely be still with us (I personally believe he would've retired from Formula One after 1970). Such a sad end to a truly great driver. Hugely missed and loved a great deal by many many F1 race fans. Rest In Peace Jochen - you did brilliant. Makes me cry to think of that fateful day you lost your life. Peace be with you forever. Rx
I personally believe he would have tried to defend his Championship title, because this would have been a new big challenge to him. He had to wait quite a long time to win his 1st Grand Prix in Watkins Glen in 1969 due to cars that were'nt completely competitive in the early years and quite some bad racing luck later on (Montjuich Park, Silverstone, Zandvoort, all in 1969 for instance). Given his devotion and ambition for racing, I doubt he would have let go the chance to achieve another unrealised milestone in his career.
Auch 40 Jahre später: Jochen lives! Der passende Dokumentarfilm von Herrn Gieser und Erich Walitsch, dem großen Jochen Rindt-Sammler aus Wien seit 1965, "Jochen lebt" am 6. 9. auf Servus-TV und in den Kinos "Metro" in Wien und "Annenhof" in Graz.
Se pensiamo che potrebbe essere la sua ultima intervista...poco dopo lo vediamo carambolare all'ingresso della Parabolica e salutare tutti...Ciao Jochen...la cosa incredibile è che sembra di rivedere (almeno per me) il dramma del Sic...sorridente prima della gara...poi la tragedia...
Many drivers' wives used to stay trackside timing their husband's laps. Nina, Rindt's wife, was no different. She was there when he died and I feel so sorry for her. He was so loved and popular among other drivers that no one wanted to race in Monza. But Commendatore was there and had two cars in the first row and wasn't willing to accept it to be cancelled.
The blame should go mainly on Mr. Chapman with the silly decision to force Rindt to go out without the rear wing to get better top speed. But causing so the Lotus to become very unstable. As very well documented historically. Have you ever seen a race red-flagged or stopped because of a fatal crash in the '70s? Never happened. The drivers knew. The teams knew. Even with tragic losses while racing the show continued anyway.
I actually saw a documentary of the 1967 Monaco Grand Prix, not knowing the tragic accident of Baldini on lap 82 in THAT race (I knew the story of Baldini a bit, but thinking that it had happended in 1968). So I got quite shocked when it came to the fatal crash. Then of course one gets to think inevitabely about Jochen Rindt. And it's a tragedy still affecting today. And for those who were personally in close contact to those drivers in their real life, I even can't imagine, how hard it has still to be for them having to suffer such a big loss.
Sehr geehrter Herr Prüller, Sie haben Jochen durch Ihre Begeisterung für den Motorsport auch für jünger Generationen unsterblich gemacht und für mich als Mann von 35 Jahren ist er der Größte, eine Legende die viel größer ist als es der Tod je sein könnte. Wie auch Sie selbst für mich immer ein Teil der Historie des Motorsports bleiben werden, ich hoffe Sie genießen den Ruhestand!
All the cars of that period were dangerous.Take the fibreglass of a Brabham & they were just a tubular frame with everything attached . Certainly not attacking Jack & Ron Taurenac, they built the cars and despite Jack's quiet demeanour hid a ferociously competitive man which led I believe to some friction between him and ,Denny Hulme in 67.These cars were half ton missiles. I used to go to motor races a lot in those days and the number old lotus's I saw with brocken suspensions was no higher than for other chassis .For the Tasman series Jack shoehorned a 2.5 litre V8 Repco into an F2 chassis . These guys knew what they were driving , knew the risks but they not only accepted them but pushed the limits Watching Jim Clark slide a Lotus 49 through what was a kink at Sandown Park in Melbourne ( I never saw anyone else do that ) was special but he would have known that car was on the very edge of letting go. Clarks incredible ability allowed him to do this .There is no real difference between these guys and test pilots as far as the dangers present. I am not saying these cars were not dangerous but there was no shortage of people wanting to have a go!
@@jeffcharles159 Ah, thank you. I believe she eventually married one of the Shadows (Bruce Welch?). At the end of the Graham Hill BBC documentary, here on youtube, there's a presentation dinner from 1969 with Graham talking from hospital. At the dinner, which is cut to, Jochen is clearly eyeing up a woman at the Lotus table - is that Lynne too? I bet Francois Cevert was...interested in her too...she was gorgeous!
I've heard so many false accounts of this tragedy. But the most honest account is to be had in the DVD "1" where it is made evident that it was Rindt himself told Chapman to remove the wings from the Lotus 72 for the practice session. This car had never been run at speed without wings prior to Monza. In retrospect it was a fatal error on Jochen's part to look for the extra speed sans wings. I only wish Chapman had told him no Jochen...we will keep the wings on.
The right front brakeshaft broke. That's what killed him in the first place. But, of course, maybe the accident in Monza wouldn't have happened in the same way had Rindt not had removed the rear wing. The brakeshafts were replaced after Monza.
and so Ickx became world champion without claiming it. while leading in so many gp Ickx had to withdraw due to technical problems on his Ferrari so did it in 1971 and 1972 so let s say he deserved to be champion
now we see why jackie spent so much time fighting for safety in formula 1, thank you sir jackie stewart,
The Only Posthumous Champion!!!
😞 🌹Rest In Peace 🌹😞
I was lucky to see him at the Glenn when I went to my first F1 race there when I was 16 years old
Poor Jochen, may he rest in peace.
very human and understandable how jackies reaction at the end of the video was :-(
Tristezza infinita,ero in viaggio di nozze,non potrò mai dimenticare quel sabato.Eri un grande Rind.Ciao.
Àqueles ,desta época que partiram e deixaram grandes e boas lembranças Rip. Jochen, um dos Grandes!
The lady with Colin Chapman leaving the paddock is Margherita Bandini, widow of Lorenzo
Is she still alive today ?
Heartbreaking to see his lovely wife talking to Jackie after it seems
Nina is still alive today
Rip one of the best.
Not only stewart is sir.
All them were SIR

RIP Jochen Rindt (April 18, 1942 - September 5, 1970), aged 28
You will be remembered as a legend
Preziosissimo. Grazie.

same to me riki.
Yep, it was Lotus` brake failure which killed him.
@@marguskiis7711 correct,plus he was on 'scrubbed' tires and had no front or rear 'wings'
I personally believe he would have tried to defend his Championship title, because this would have been a new big challenge to him. He had to wait quite a long time to win his 1st Grand Prix in Watkins Glen in 1969 due to cars that were'nt completely competitive in the early years and quite some bad racing luck later on (Montjuich Park, Silverstone, Zandvoort, all in 1969 for instance).

Jochen Rindt - my hero
🤩✌️ R.I.P.
I still miss you.
Forty five years after his tragic death, we car racing fans still miss Jochen Rindt. He will live forever in our hearts!

I ike the way Nina sits.
She is 78 now
So sad!
Indimenticabile
He also planned to do more Indy 500s in better equipment as it didn't conflict with the Monaco weekend
Jackie Stewart don't have luck with friends, he loses Rindt and Cevert, I fell sorry for them
I never heared him speaking before
Great Rindt RIP
Who's the woman with Nina at 2.05 ?
I've seen her in several F1 films.
@Keks Dose Hi, thanks for replying. No, it's definitely not Helen.
It’s Lynne Oliver, wife of Jackie Oliver
@@jeffcharles159 Ah, thank you.

The music doesn't fit at all.
I agree. It's too upbeat.
Absolutely!👌🏻
This is a little Macabre >surely Jochen Rindts wife even now is entitled to a little privacy.
Como assim, tirou as asas do carro? Que insanidade. Collin jamais deveria ter permitido.
bad music... doesn't fit....
the 70's were like that. you could hear that style of music even at funerals.
@@davegsux shit
As yu can see security was inexistant before in f1...
eh eh...ogni tanto tiro fuori qualche perlina ;)

Jackie Stewart ruined formula 1 with his obsession with safety.
