Talk:1973 South African Grand Prix

Untitled
Havn't found any credible sources, but because of an accident in this race, Mike Hailwood was awarded the George Medal and the Prix Rouge et Blanc Jo Siffert for pulling Clay Regazzoni out of the flames of his car


 * Response to above: It's referred to on the Mike_Hailwood page, viz
 * "Hailwood was recognised for his bravery when in the 1973 South African Grand Prix he went to pull Clay Regazzoni from his burning car after the two collided on the second lap of the race. Hailwood's driving suit caught fire, but after being extinguished by a fire marshall he returned to help rescue Regazzoni, an act for which he was awarded the George Medal, the 2nd highest gallantry award that a British civilian can be awarded."

 * and also listed on the George_Medal page:


 * "Mike Hailwood - Racing driver, pulled fellow driver Clay Regazzoni from his burning racing car, setting fire to his own race suit in the process (1973)"
 * Do these count as 'credible sources'? Andywebby (talk) 12:22, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
