Ascari's fatal crash at Monza 4 days later remains a complete mystery. For no apparent reason, the car left the track on the back straight and somersaulted into the trees. One of the theories is that Ascari was still suffering from concussion as a result of the Monaco crash, and blacked out behind the wheel. Since no one witnessed the accident, we will never know what really happened.

i'm sure i heard someone was killed during a race crashing into the sea around about when it first began.

Ascari was very superstitious indeed. Normally he would never go out in any helmet other than his "lucky" blue one. In the Monaco accident the strap was broken and he had sent it for repair. At Monza three or four days later, to the utter astonishment of the other drivers, he asked to borrow Castellotti's helmet before testing the Ferrari sports car. Ascari crashed fatally on only his third lap. Today his blue helmet is on display at the Donington Racing Car Collection in England.

Has there ever been another f1 car crashing into the water. Or is this the only one that ever happened?

Sure? I only know of one other "accident" like this at monaco, but it was part of the fictional Formula1 - movie "grand prix" from 1966.

Yes there was. In 1965 Paul Hawkins driving a Lotus went into the harbour at the very same point. Like Ascari he survived with little personal damage. He was killed around four years later in a sports car race.

The sad thing was that he was just testing a car he had borrowed and i wasnt even for competition...
