I am saddened by The accident to Robert.However,at any level of racing fatalities and injuries are going to occur.The Drivers know the risks when they decide to do this.There will be no lack of drivers wanting that seat now.The drivers,especially at the top levels are compensated very well for their talents and risk taking.No one is forcing them to do this.The responses on social media have been what is to be expected .What is it that motivates us to be race fans.For me it is watching someone do something that I know I could never do and admiring their skill and talent in doing it.To make the cars and circuits so safe that anyone can do it, for me holds zero interest.Like Mario Andretti said,eliminate nearly all of the risk,why do it or come to see it.
