I’ve been following all forms of motorsport since when I was a young kid. If I could have been anything I would have chosen to be an F1 driver. In all those years (and there have been plenty) I have seen some enormous crashes, and yet 99% of the time poeple walk away relatively unscathed.

So I was shocked then to see the video of the accident that caused the death of Henry Surtees, son of the legend that is John Surtees during a F2 race at Brands Hatch on Sunday. How unlucky can you be? It wasn’t the impact of the crash that killed him, the fatal head injuries were received from the flying tyre. RIP young man.
