A great racer,got as far as his money would take him on this side of the pond,racing against Jenson Button,Mark Webber and many other famous names,then went over to America and made his name ,winning the Indy car championship along with the Indy 500 and winning that race again earlier this year.Obviously questions will be asked about safety,and I believe there is plenty of room for improvement in that racing series.Now though,Im just very sad! :(
