(from the name of the video and the pictures on the website)
wonder if this has anything to do with it also (July 22nd 2003):
"The sudden decision by Jaguar Racing not to let me continue as a full time Formula 1 driver for the team came as a complete shock to me. As the season has progressed my performances have improved. As has been widely reported, Jaguar has offered me a reserve driver and testing role but I have declined this.
I now have to reflect on what has happened and decide which is the best course of action for me to take. However I fully intend to persue my carrer in Formula 1."
Antonio is appreciative of the support he has received from the press and his many friends in the sport . He asks that everyone will respect the privacy of him and his family and will not be making any further comments."

Yeah, it's definitely him. I stopped the vid at the end and compared his face and the suit. Same suit, same guy. Geez, I wonder why Jaguar doesn't want him racing for them

The passenger looks like a bloke called Steve Sutcliffe who writes for Autocar in the UK...has a rep for being a v. quick driver, and from watching the vid, is obviously a very cool customer indeed.

Correct me if I'm wrong but first the car understeered, and he continues to turn in (Loosing more front tire grip) then he hits the dirt and the rear swings out a bit and at this time he could have countersteered to help prevent the car from flipping over, but he turns the wheel in more. Anyone else think if he properly countersteered when he hit the dirt the car would have done a nice drift rather than a flip?
