Remember Jacque Villeneuve losing control and marshal fatality?

Just take a look at the video of the Gilles Villeneuve 2 wheel antics at Zandvoort.
That was insanely dangerous. The Ferrari creeping back with other cars approaching at full speed. Remember, in those days signalling was limited with no radio comms and the cars were still death traps. Plus sections of the track are quite hilly and you can't see shit what's beyond the corner.
In fact, a similar situation (full speed car catching a slower car right after the corner) is what Gilles got killed 3 years later.
