lj79 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
If you are nervous about flying and a LM fan think like this (I aint a techno buff, so this is a rough idea)

You must be aware of how much downforce is generated by the wings on prototypes, to the extent that above certain speeds there is enough downforce to let them run, theoretically, upside down glued to a ceiling.

The wings on an aeroplane act in the complete opposite manner i.e. providing lift. If you could "see" the aerodynamics of a plane you could understand just how easy these things stay up and allay many of your fears. And statistically it is the safest way to travel. You'll be fine
