The sad story of Harald Ertl

Harald Ertl è was one of the drivers who saved Niki Lauda from the Nurburgring fire: forty-seven years ago, on August 1, 1976, the reigning world champion wentò to crash into the guard-rail of the German track, his Ferrari caught fire and only the courage of four colleagues, Guy Edwards, Brett Lunger, Arturo Merzario and precisely Ertl, prevented the Austrian from dying.

The previous year Ertl, also an Austrian, had managed to make his Formula 1 debut in a Hesketh, thanks largely to sponsorship with Warsteiner. In Great Britain, also in 1975, he achieved his best career result, finishing seventh. The bearded man’s Formula 1 career ended in 1980, at the German Grand Prix.

Ertl died in a plane crash on April 7, 1982, while traveling with his family. His wife and son survived, it was unfortunately not so for Harald, who was not even 34 years old, his brother-in-law and a niece.

Fiorentina, Palladino: “Inexplicable departure”

Fiorentina coach Raffaele Palladino spoke after the 3-3 draw with Puskas Akademia in the Conference League. “It was a bad start, you have to be realistic. It was an inexplicable start, leaving down 2-0 and also mentally and technically. We made technical mistakes that I don&#39t even see in practice, we were good at staying in the race”.

The Viola overturned the result in the second half: “In the second half I è liked the team attitude, I è liked the team spirit but we conceded goals on set pieces, there is no way to take a goal like thatì. You have to analyze what we did well and what there’è to improve”.

Kean found the goal: “I don&#39t think it&#39s a matter of a single player, those who è entered gave a strong push to the team. I would like to see some of this attitude from everyone, which I did not see today. I will know how to speak to the team, è it is my job and I will have to analyze this thing”.

The liliati slowly entered the game and after a Beltran’s chance and Bianco’s crossbar found the 1-2 with a turn in the box by Sottil on an assist from Parisi.

The hosts in the second half stormed the opponent’s goal and turned the tide: on 67′ came Martinez Quarta’s 2-2 header, on 75′ the 3-2 by newcomer Kean, in his first goal after more than a year of fasting. At 89’89’ the incredible 3-3 Hungarian è came after a new distraction of the purple defense on a corner, Golla scored.
