: It's hard to judge the severity of an accident sometimes.

: Berger's crash at Tamburello in 1989 looked far worse than Senna's
: in 1994, repeatedly hitting the wall and then bursting into
: flame but he got away with just burned palms.

: But as soon as you see open-wheeled cars airborne, you fear the
: worst and with all the slipstreaming on an oval, it always seems
: a possibility. I held my breath when Webber got air when he
: clipped Kovalainen's wheel last year.

: It can never be ultimately safe, but I'm glad it's much safer than
: in the 50s and 60s. Hard to believe Stewart was derided in some
: quarters for his work on safety.

I was shocked when I saw it happened. They were going so fast on that track the slightest mistake and you can cause a really bad accidents. Dan will be missed.
