In relation to the safety car, the first time it was ever deployed was during the 1973 Canadian Grand Prix which Beltoise finished 4th.

Here is a brief review of the race from YouTube:

As for the suspension, in 1971 he was involved in an accident which killed Ignazio Giunti in Buenos Aires. He was pushing his car as it ran out of fuel and Giunti ran into it

The 19th Who Am I ?

I was one of a few drivers who ever raced with this unique engine.

Remember one entry per member until the next clue please. The first to post the correct answer will be the winner.
