Nasty accident! He was such a good driver and respect him so much!

Was looking through the crash last night and I noticed something I never have before, his helmet had come off on impact and rolled on the floor in the corner of the screen. Terrible sight.

never seen this before, im sure it'll be pretty shocking, as like Sennas and Laudas

I feel Laudas really outlined how nice the fellow racers were at that time - all stopped to try and save him. Don't see many doing that these days

i don't think it matters when he had been thrown out the car at 130+mph straight into a fence
