Whoa!! I know personally that everytime I get in the racecar, I may not be getting out of it. That is the sport I love it and that's how it is. But to go into a season thinking that a few of you guys wouldn't be here next year is simply absurb. How did they manage to walk without their feet hitting their balls? Does anyone recall the year that not one ferrari driver returned from the previous season b/c they all had been killed? I think it was 1954. I know it was the year that Mike Hawthorn died in a road accident, although he was racing another vehicle in the rain supposedly.
