I'm glad I didn't see it. I don't want to.
That being said, it's hard to say if that would have changed the outcome.May the driver rest in peace.
The run-off area after the hill is clearly insufficient. It's too narrow for the speed.

I don't like the drawing but to the author's defense, the usual spelling of Antoine, a very old and common name, has no 'h'.Touching or really bad taste? And he got the name wrong.

But the sentiment is still there.
That was Correa's car, the one that was upside-down.If my eyes didn't deceive me, I saw his legs dangling in a quick shot during a replay.
They can’t make it any bigger, because there’s a ravine on the other side of the barriersThe exit run off after Eau Rouge-Raidillon isn't large enough

What about sand in the run off area? Would help slow cars from returning to the track.They can’t make it any bigger, because there’s a ravine on the other side of the barriers
Indeed! Or gravel.What about sand in the run off area? Would help slow cars from returning to the track.
They should also get rid of that tire wall and replace it with a SAFER barrier. I don't understand why SAFER barrier systems have not become more popular outside of NASCAR...

I actually thought that if this corner still would have had the kittylitter it'll probably saved his life. Those run off areas in those corners are very dangerous since high speed is kept.
It was shocking to me that this would happen at this current version of Formula 2. My condolences goes out to the family of Anthoine Hubert. May he rest in peace.Just saw the accident. That'll cast a shadow on the weekend for sure. I often remark how fortunate we are with the safety of motorsports nowdays. We can watch what "look" like horrendous impacts and I'm often quite sure the driver is okay (even if injured - ankles, pelvis, etc.). Watching that particularly impact though, a different story. I've no idea who Antoine Hubert is, but it's sad to see someone young taken like that. I feel almost worse for the driver who survived the crash - my assumption is that the killed driver was in the first car that spun back onto the track? Always a terrible time for the survivor of a crash like that. Sad day for motorsport.
