What a total shame. I never really followed Alex's career until he showed up in F1 again. I always felt that he had more to offer the series, and racing in general. Unforunately, this accident will prevent us from seeing what victories he may have had in the future. My best wishes for his recovery...

It was truly a great race up until 10 laps before the flag... Alex was doing a great job, showing all of europe what CART racing is all about - and then this happens...
