No wonder that Jacky Ickx said : "It's a miracle I'm still alive"
Don't know if you saw the Grand Prix film but Frankenheimer got Sarti's lead up to the fatal crash completely wrong.
All GP drivers are quick thinking and he would have seen that exhaust pipe coming off the car looking at it right in front of him! on the banking and 2-3 seconds sliding on the track before contact with the Ferrari is optimum time to avoid the errant pipe .
If Max was in the Ferrari he would have side stepped it easily.
