Im of the opinion that if I had a 100mph smash I would be a little disorientated, with the adrenaline flowing and having just pumped the pedal Simon could have thought his brake pipe was broken, which would possibly lead to fluid on the track, and more cars coming into that area, so, though it shas already been said, jumping out of the car and over the barriers was the CORRECT thing to do (which it is in any case).
Just because we didnt see the end of the video doesnt mean he didnt speak to the other driver, fuck sake, you must seriously think he jumped the barrier and kept running all the way home
Second, I think he did as best he could given the situation, high speed and pedal to the floor is going to cause panic in alot of people, and I think keeping control and taking to the grass was the right thing to do, it goes without saying he never intended to hit the other chap. He had a split second decision to make, and made the best of what was never going to be a good situation.
