Really bad news.

People should not die in a sport.

Will need to study the detail to see what exactly went wrong. Hope it's not a return to the bad old days.

You can read the fear and aprehension as people feared the worst just after the crash right up to the moment it was announced.

I was at Indy this year and watched him win.

RIP Dan.
