Not a fan of F1 but I think everybody should know the name David - TopicsExpress



          

Not a fan of F1 but I think everybody should know the name David Purley, the driver who singlehandedly tried to rescue a fellow racer while the authorities stood behind him & watched & eventually tried to drag him away letting Roger Williamson die in his car. It took 8 minutes for the fire service to arrive & in that 8 minutes Purley was the only person to attempt to save him, the race was allowed to continue with a single blanket placed over the burnt shell of the vehicle & the remains of a dead Williamson. Purley got a George Medal for his actions but if you ask me his actions & frustrations will never be praised enough
