A number of drivers said things like if it can happen to Jimmy, it can happen to anyone. A columnist at the time wrote a fine piece stating Clark wasn't killed by a flat tire, or a suspension failure, he was killed by a tree. A tree that had no business being there. But safety took a long time to improve. First came guardrails, but drivers were killed by the very guardrails meant to protect them. Today, cars are so safe, tracks are so safe, we don't have to deal with the issue of driver deaths very often. It saddens me to think if Clark had the same accident today, he would hit a soft, impact absorbing barrier and pop out waving to the crowd.

Pit Pass / Re: Ferrari tests new mudguards for F1 cars to be used with full wet tyres

F1 cars already use really good lighting for the rain light. It's not enough.
