Thought that myself!

13 starters, loose dog bounding around on the race track, Behra letting the "staff" do the work while he strolls back to the pit after wrecking his car, Neubauer issuing team orders, about 4 cars on the same lap at the end.
Ridiculously dangerous crowd exposure.

... and still absolutely watchable.

Who could have foreseen the disaster spelled out by Nicanary of the race five years later!

"Wonderful times. Five years later, and Bristow and Stacey were killed, and Moss and Taylor badly injured, all at the same meeting. And six years after that, Jackie Stewart had a meeting with fate, and things were never the same again."

Bernie to his everlasting credit did sort out the medical facilities!


Despite all the above, thanks for posting Aysedasi, enjoyed watching it tremendously!
