F1's Guardian Angel: Three Drivers Who Were Saved by Sid Watkins
These days, to die in a racing car, something has to go catastrophically wrong with you being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But when Sid Watkins came into the sport in 1978, he found medical facilities in disarray.
With a modernisation and standardisation programme with F1's medical side, drivers started to survive what they would not previously, and while Senna and Ratzenberger, along with Villeneuve and Paletti could not be saved, many more were able to get away with sprain or a broken bone, or just a bruised ego.
Three crashes stand out in the 1990s, a time when Formula One went through its second big safety push. And they all survived because of Sid's intervention- Directly or otherwise.
