Another ironic twist is that Vittorio Brambilla was hit on the head by a wheel in the infamous start crash of the 1978 Italian GP whilst driving for Surtees, but he survived...

All depends on a number of factors. My dad worked on helmet design for the military and as a part time job in college I worked as a test subject on various types of helmets. Interesting all the science that goes into all that and sometimes something that looks innocuous can be quite serious. One issue as well is people are not fully grown until their 20's and the skull can still be weaker and not fully developed by the late teens which doesn't help.

Ultimately very sad about what happened and a totally freak accident. My prayers go out to the family and those involved.

Condolences to John and his family, it hurts so bad from someone who knows the pain of losing an 18 year old son.

RiP Henry.

During qualifying for F2, several drivers were given black-and-white warning flags for four wheels off the track at various corners. Following a Red flag, two drivers came into the pitlane before passing their flags, so I walked along the pitlane to show them. The first driver was defensive/argumentative, the second driver on my approach immediately nodded his head and gave me a thumbs-up. The first driver shall remain nameless, the second driver was Henry, as polite as ever.

RIP Henry.

Deepest condolences to John Surtees and his family. Also to the Clarke family.

A special thought to marshal Mike Kelly, his team and the medical services for their rapid response.

Nice post Bryan.

There are some lovely tributes on the Formula 2 website.

Henry Surtees RIP

Was at Brands on the Saturday as a spectator. Before I left I had a quick chat with both John and Henry and congratulated them on their fantastic result. It was great to see them both so happy and both were very accessible as ever. I was not at Brands on Sunday as I had to travel to the US for work. Was shocked to the core when I learnt the terrible news on the internet. We all love this sport so much but it can be so cruel. Rest In Peace Henry you will be sorely missed. All my condolences to John, Jane and family.

John

It seemed so unreal watching it live through esp2.
Such an unlucky tragic looks really for similar. I was convinced that Henry could not survived the tire impact

With my feet down in the crowds
Letting loose around the world
But the call of home is loud
Still as loud

I've seen the Paris lights from high upon Montmartre
And felt the silence hanging low in No Man's Land/ /
And though those Spanish nights were fine It wasn't only from the wine
It still seems all in hand

And I'm far, far away, &c...

I've seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi
The Grand Bahama Island stories carry on
And though those aligator smiles Stay in your memory for a while
There still seems more to come

A little late but Henry's funeral was at 11am today, I'm sure he and his family and friends are especially in our thoughts at this time.

John Surtees makes some very dignified comments on the Autosport website, not sure how I would react in these circumstances
