Gianclaudio Giuseppe "Clay" Regazzoni (September 5, 1939 - December 15, 2006) was a Swiss racing car driver. He competed in Formula One races from 1970 to 1980, winning five Grands Prix. His first win was the Italian Grand Prix at Monza in his debut season, driving for Ferrari. He remained with the Italian team until 1972. After a single season with BRM, Regazzoni returned to Ferrari for a further three years, 1974 to 1976. After finally leaving Ferrari at the end of 1976, Regazzoni joined the Ensign and Shadow teams, before moving to Williams in 1979, where he took the British team's first ever Grand Prix victory, the 1979 British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

He was replaced by Carlos Reutemann at Williams for 1980 and moved back to Ensign. Following an accident at the 1980 United States Grand Prix West he was left paralyzed from the waist down, ending his career in Formula One. Regazzoni did not stop racing, however; he competed in the Paris-Dakar rally and Sebring 12 hours using a hand controlled car during the late 1980s and early 1990s. In 1996, Regazzoni became a commentator for Italian TV.

He died in a car accident in Italy on December 15, 2006.

2.85 min. | 4.85 user rating		 O Grande Prêmio da Inglaterra foi disputado pela primeira vez em 1926, e faz parte da Fórmula 1 desde a primeira temporada. Vitoria de Clay Regazzoni. Em 1980 ele sofreu um acidente durante o Grande Prêmio dos Estados Unidos, disputado em Long Beach, quando os freios de seu Ensign falharam no fim de uma reta de alta velocidade. Seu carro bateu em grande velocidade contra a Brabham do argentino Ricardo Zunino, carro que estava parado no canto de uma área de escape, incendiando-se em seguida. O acidente deixou Regazzoni paralisado da cintura para baixo. Desde então, ele se dedicou a ajudar portadores de deficiência física a obter igualdade de oportunidades, além de continuar competindo em competições com carros históricos, sua grande paixão. Um instigante relato de sua vida pode ser encontrada em sua autobiografia "E' questione di cuore" ("à um assunto do coração") publicado em meados dos anos 1980. No final da vida Regazzoni dividia seu tempo entre Mônaco e Lugano, e ocasionalmente fazia comentários para canais de TV suíços e italianos.

1976, Brands Hatch - Clay Regazzoni, Niki Lauda, James Hunt
0.35 min. | 4.71 user rating		 Prima trasmissione a colori di Mike Bongiorno, alla tv svizzera, nel programma "Personaggi in fiera" del 1975. Questo video è un estratto di quell'esordio ritrasmesso negli anni seguenti, sempre sulla tv svizzera. Si vedono tra l'altro un giovane Gianni Morandi e il pilota di Formula1 Clay Regazzoni.
1.10 min. | 4.81 user rating		 Enjoy a fine onboard lap with the late Clay Regazzoni, driving a BRM, at Zeltweg's circuit in 1973. Only natural sounds! Note, in the low right side of the car the "T" letter, indicating that he was driving a test car during the occasion. All credits goes to the original capper.
2.02 min. | 5.0 user rating		 1974 was the year of change in Formula One. Defending champion Jackie Stewart had retired from racing, creating a power vacuum that sucked a host of racers, old and new, into the battle for the Championship. And what a season! Predicting the outcome of each race was impossible as the drivers battled to come to terms with closer racing brought about by faster cars with better tyres. It was reliability as much as driving skill that kept the leaderboard in a state of constant flux. By the final race of the season Emerson Fittipaldi (McLaren), Clay Regazzoni (Ferrari) and Jody Scheckter (Tyrrell) were locked in a fascinating three-way battle for the title. It went right down to the wire. This film doesn't just show the action from the season -- it tells the story. Pit-lane cameras eavesdrop on intimate conversations between the engineers and drivers as they discuss set-up and tyres, revealing a world markedly different from contemporary Formula One.
