On October 6, 1973, a terrible tragedy occurred... French driver Francois Cevert, who had captivated Formula 1 fans for only three years, was involved in the accident. He was Jackie Stewart's best friend, and they enjoyed life together. Then suddenly came Watkins Glen 1973, the final race of the season, when Jackie won his third title. During qualifying, Francois wanted to beat him, but the unexpected happened... A year later, at Watkins Glen in 1974, another accident occurred. A young driver was involved. Those were the days when Formula 1 changed forever!
