29. A crash at which Grand Prix in 1966 started Jackie Stewart on his safety crusade?
From Quiz Jackie Stewart
Answer:
Belgian Grand Prix
After a fabulous win at the Monaco Grand Prix, his second in Formula One, the circus arrived at the wonderful Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium for the second round. After qualifying third on the grid, sudden rain at the start of the race caused many crashes, including one for Jackie. His car was left upside down in a ditch with fuel leaking out soaked him. Thankfully for Jackie, there was no spark but marshals were ill-equipped and unwilling to help the trapped driver, and it was up to Graham Hill, who had also crashed, to help rescue Jackie. It was this precise incident that led Jackie on his safety crusade. The first safety introduction was an electrics main switch and also a detachable steering wheel. Jackie missed the next round in France, but returned in time for the British Grand Prix. It was a difficult season for Jackie after such a promising debut, finishing seventh in the title chase on 14 points.
