First, this is a tragedy. Losing our lives in this sport isn't worth it. I know this was accidental but it definitely makes you think.

That being said, I honestly didn't pick up on the car model he was driving until you said that.

I'm not a structural engineer by trade but the fact that this just happened and looking at the cage construction makes me agree with you.

It would be very interesting to see the crashed vehicle to see where it failed. Looking at the chassis, it sure seems like there isn't a lot of lateral protection for the driver.
