## Caption

Amiable Superswede Ronnie Peterson lost his life 45 years ago On This Day, stunning the F1 world. A serious but survivable crash on the opening lap of the Italian Grand Prix left him with badly broken legs; he was operated on with haste and deteriorated overnight. By the morning, Sweden's idol was gone. 🌟
