This was in the World Sportscar race at Buenos Aires. Jean Pierre Beltoise in a Matra ran out of fuel. He was pushing his car back to the pits to refuel. Ignazio Giunti in the works Ferrari was slipstreaming another car, pulled out and crashed into the Matra and exploded.
There followed a lengthy and unpleasant legal battle, at one point Beltoise being threatened with criminal prosecution, lifetime bans from racing, and, if the Italian had got their way, censure by the Pope! The following year Beltoise won his only Grand Prix at Monaco. As for Giunti, he had a promising future, having made his F1 debut for Ferrari the previous year. A sad affair all round. |
