I agree. His F1 career is due to finish in two races time and its overdue tbh. He seems like a nice guy and reasonably intelligent out of the car, and can be very quick on occasions.
During races though, its almost like he loses concentration and makes a lot of dangerous mistakes of the kind that should have been ironed out long before he got near an F1 car.
Although I was really shocked by what I saw watching it live on TV. I wasnt shocked to hear that it was him who had the crash.
I think for his own sake (and his wife and kids) he should hang up his helmet, rather than go to Indycar, as he is planning to do.
Im thankful for the fact that TV directors are sensitive enough to cut to a different camera nowadays when something like this happens.
Im old enough to remember when they would keep the camera on a car with someone dying inside it
I well remember Ricardo Paletti burning to death at the start of the Canadian Grand Prix in 1982, on live tv, with cameras also pointing at his hysterical distraught mother a few yards away in the pitlane.
Gilles Villeneuves horrific fatal crash was shown over and over again on the news, including slowmo footage, and then his lifeless body lying against the crash barriers, after the Belgian fans had stolen his socks and racing boots for souvenirs.
It was horrifically crass and insensitive.
The memory of the footage of David Purley trying desperately to save Roger Williamson still turns my blood cold all these years later.
