They seriously need to implement tire walls in all corners.

But thats problem, it's french highways Armco, not tyres.

I am maybe sounding gloomy, but I wonder if a chicane or something will arrive there.

I can tell your devastated, was he on one of the teams you were rooting for?

All of us here are rooting for team "Motorsport". So, when a member of the family dies it's devastating regardless of what actual team we support.

The problem I believe is that there was no room for the Armco to absorb the impact. The fence was right against a tree where he hit.
 
Horrible day!

Wolf Silvester died at the Nurburgring today. Not because of a crash though. :(

RIP

It's sad when race car drivers demonstrate the flaws of race tracks with loss of life.

And that's pretty much when the race tracks are changed
 
What a tragic accident. Allan was one of the most talented GT drivers whatever he drove, I remember years ago when he would turn around races in British GT when he got into the Ferrari at the driver change.
 
Oh, a bit of a cheering moment: Eurosport showed a commercial with Raikkonen...

Ice please.. I don't want to be rude..
 
R.I.P.

That was totally unexpected for me. Puts a dark cloud over the weekend.
 
EUROsport shown a Renault ad with Raikkonen in it.

It was mildly funny and had my favourite driver in it. As you may have noticed, ad breaks :-/
 
Rest in peace Allan Simonsen. Tragedy.
 
This rain has just wiped out #1's massive lead. We have a race back on...
 
How exactly are they going to put SAFER barriers on a public road? Seriously people.
 
Was it a heavy side impact?

Most motorsports, don't have a Nascar safer barrier they have other feature that you don't see in Nascar. Those barrier were made for nascar due to the situation which is Oval tracks.
 
You'd think that F1 drivers would be prone to injuries like that more often since they have less protection. Just crazy.
