Fatal accident of the pilot Pedro Rodriguez in Germany 1971
West Germany: Pedro Rodriguez, a 30-year-old Mexican, lost his life as a result of an accident suffered at the Norisring circuit, while the 200 miles of Nuremberg for Sport machines of the Interserie were being disputed. His car, a Ferrari 512M, lost a wheel, collided with a rail guard and after being attacked by Leo Kinnunen, he burned. General views of the start. Brief sequences of the competition where you can see running the Ferrari 512M cars (26) of Pedro Rodriguez and the McLaren M8E Chevrolet (10) of Chris Craft, who will later be the winner of the interserie championship. General views of the accident suffered by Pedro Rodriguez and the burning car. General views of a group of men trying to put out the fire in the vehicle. (Ambient sound)
Detail: Film with regular image quality.
Reference: Sadly, the week before the British Grand Prix, I have accepted an offer to drive Swiss entry Herbert Muller's Ferrari 512M at an inconsequential interstellar sports car race at Norisring. Going like hell, jousting for the lead, slower car moved Pedro into the wall and the Ferrari erupted into flames. I have died an hour or so later.
