Justin Wilson Badly Hurt.
Discussion
I've just remembered an interesting memory about Justin.
A few years ago I was lucky enough to be involved in a very minor way in an auction of Williams memorabilia. There was a lot of stuff which was bundled in with the general listed lots which were not in the inventory including two race suits.
One was the race suit which was cut off Ralf Schumacher when he had his Indy crash complete with blood stains and what appeared to be other fluid marks....
The other was totally mint and in the bag, a Williams BMW race suit with the name Justin Wilson sewn into the belt. Can't remember him testing the car but clearly he came very close to at least trying it.
What might have been.....

I went to the same school as him and although I never spoke to him I remember him getting prizes for his karting during assembly and the like. I recall nobody ever had a bad word to say about him, despite him having an amazing skill and living the dream (especially at that age). A great guy by all accounts.
RIP

This is dreadful news especially for his family.
There is a fine tribute to him here:

the Fast Lane Car website for whom he drove fast sports cars from time to time - the last occasion being in a Jaguar F-Type.
