Re: Senna gets out of his car in a race and rescues crashed Eric Comas

Great driver and great man! One of the first F1 races I watched was '93 European Grand Prix at Donington. I still consider it the best drive I have ever seen. I really hoped that Schu retired before he broke the record of 65 poles by Senna. Even though the Senna Foundation does great work and ensures the Senna name lives on, I would love to see his nephew race in F1.

Who is that driver who slowed down at the end of the video?

Here is another video of a heroic effort to save a fellow racer. I don't know if you've seen it before, Zonda, but it is graphic. It is a clip of David Purley trying to rescue his teammate, Roger Williamson, before he burned to death. A sad, preventable fatality, but the image of Purley standing in a fireball is unforgettable.
