goes to show how even the smallest difference in time can alter things drastically. if hed done his previous lap half a second quicker or slower he'd likely be still alive.

Absolutely shocking!! Really bad twist of fate.

As said, half a second faster or slower and he'd still be here

There are no more updates on the F2 site other than he had been air lifted to the Royal London trauma unit.

For some reason, I can't get onto the Henry Surtees website either.

I can't see any websites that are confirming his death? Only the poster of the youtube video?

Nothing on Formula 2 website or BBC website?

Shit, was there yesterday watching. The F2 race was a nightmare loads of accidents. We were sitting on Paddock hill bend so did not see this crash, but did see the air ambulance land and his car be taken away all covered up.

Proper sad news.
