It's very sad and makes for uncomfortable viewing. However I am with DH: every racing driver knows the risks when they take to the track. Only a few years ago this was a more regular occurrence. 220mph + no run off area generally = wall.

Anyone seen the Daily Mail?

Leading with the story on their website and as usual, talking complete utter sh!t. I hate that paper.

Basically saying why was he offered $5 million to win the race...saying this was revealed today??!! Was it? I knew about this for a long time.

Then it says he pushed himself to hard to get the win?! f**k off DM..did you see the crash? It had nothing to do with him and was unavoidable.

RIP Dan
