F1 has become so safe these days that young drivers like Hamilton don't know they're born. A fact you can see in almost each GP he drives in.

I wonder if he'll take note, or if he'll wait till the next time F1 has a serious casualty.

A timely reminder. I received my race license today.
RIP, a tragic waste in an accident that has such little odds of occurring. The irony that his father was world champion when the sport was much much more dangerous.
Exactly what I was thinking as well FieldL.

Twisted irony of it; His old man racing during a period where deaths were almost a weekly occurence.

Sad for Henry and his family.

Not surprising they don't have F1 racing there anymore....Why leave a tree so close to the edge of the track?!!! Without that being there they could more the Armco back 30 yards to give a much bigger run off area.
Stupid really.
