shocking news, quite disappointing how much coverage its getting in the uk media too, the guy was a champion yet barely gets a mention
RIP

What a terrible crash. I've never heard of Dan Wheldon until yesterday. It's a sad day in the racing world.

RIP | | | | | Front page on the BBC, Daily Mail (top story), and Grauniad websites. Not checked the others, but it seems this is being well covered.

It was on the BBC news at one am (our time), a shocking bit of footage.
The wicked thought crossed my mind that he was due to collect $5 million for charity if he'd won that race and 'someone' had tinkered with the car to prevent him finishing; which clearly went horribly wrong.
