Such a tragedy for this incredible driver and modest, classy person.

Apart from when he deliberately ran Damon Hill off the track at Monaco to ensure his first
Championship. He also tried the same trick with Villeneuve but didn't quite achieve it.

Yep. Immense talent, undoubtedly, but not held in particularly high esteem by his fellow drivers.
What happened to him is a real tragedy, though. His family sure did clamp down on the news of his condition, and that continues.

Agree, nobody should have that happen. His son has been interviewed on TV...
prior to today's GP. Seems a very personable young man. It will be hard for him to race in his father's very long shadow, but as they saying goes,,,,if he's good enough...

Yes, the "long shadow" will be a huge challenge and test of his courage, determination and of course skill.
