Justin wilson

Ex f1 driver justin wilson passed away after being involved in an accident whilst racing in indycar in the us, he was struck on the head by a piece of bodywork from another car and left in a coma which, sadly he never recovered , he leaves a wife and two young daughters, a really nice guy that will be greatly missed, apparently he signed up as an organ donor so even though he is no longer with us he wil go on to help others

Re: Justin wilson

very sad to hear, don't watch the sport but it is awful that it was a piece of flying debris from another car.

Re: Justin wilson

Yes this is very sad. There have been too many fatalities lately what with Jules Bianchi (F1) and two motorcycle racing deaths. But I suppose it IS a dangerous sport.

Re: Justin wilson

Justin was a racer sponsored by the company that I work for. They've set up a fund for his children. That was pretty cool of them to do that...
