Should this guy still have a racing license? Fun cup spa

Saw it on sky last week and someone's already posted it on youtube. Words fail me. Maybe the kemmel straight isn't straight enough. The interview with Phil Martindale afterwards was less than convincing. I'd be pretty pissed if he drove into me like that.....

Its a racing incident, who knows what the guy was thinking, but there sometimes isnt such a thing as a line when racing its always changing. He made a mistake, its not the first and it wont be the last, should various F1 drivers who drove into there pit crew have there licenses questioned?

well, technically correct, they were racing and there was an incident, but in the terminology its normally employed, as in unavoidable, no one's directly to blame I'm sorry I couldn't disagree more strongly.

and what has overshooting a breaking zone in the pits by fractions of metre have any bearing on driving into a near stationary car on a straight thats about 1km long?

granted that was pretty stupid but not life threatenly dangerous.......and thats really the difference..........
