It is a tragedy but the sport comes with its dangers.

nothing worse imo than a death in the sport you love.. I was in Mondello the weekend after Neil Shanahans death in a Formula Ford race in the UK.. a real horrible feeling of tension and shock everywhere, especially with the drivers as basically everyone around the paddock knew the chap.
I honestly didn't even think Alboreto was still driving at this stage, a very sad loss regardless though... what car was he driving?
