I DONT CARE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THEIR ACTIONS this is a place to pay your respect!

Respect for what?

Kill yourself and potentially putting others in danger?

Irrespective of the circumstances, this is some ones father, son, grandson and best friend! Someone who tried to make a difference in the world! So yes RESPECT, clearly a concept foreign to those up there on their moral high horse

Am i right in thinking that no one here has ever broken a speed limit!?

What a load of BS!

If you want to discuss the implications of speeding and road racing I suggest a new thread in the Paddock Club.

I believe it is possible to do both:

Have an opinion about the apparent actions of the driver who appears (at least at this point) to have been doing speeds of 100 mph in a 45 mph zone AND express condolenences, respect for some other things they did in life. Doing what the driver apparently did in the US usually lands you in a 8 X 10 concrete box for a specified number of days. However, I will say there still seems to be this open question about a potential mechanical issue with the car, so still more to be analyzed.

Nevertheless, what also usually lands people in jail is drunk driving. What if a famous person and his friend smashed themselves into a pole and some trees after a bender when they have the means to call a cab, car service, etc? It would horrible, but after people express their sadness (or not) they would ask why did they get into a car drunk? I think we have the same combination here. People experienced and knowledgable in the dangers of speed (and imo should know better), taking liberties on a public road in a wreckless fashion.....and some how crashing into a pole and some trees.

Some poeple have zero tolerance for intoxicated drivers; some people have zero tolerance for speeding on a public roads; both valid points of view whether one agrees or not.
