Shocking story of media ignorance
I’m totally shocked and appalled at the way the mainstream British media has covered the Dan Wheldon story. There are many areas of the media getting their facts wrong. The way some of the stuff has been written makes it seem like Dan crashed because he was after the $5 million prize that was on offer, and don’t get me started on the Daily Mail.
The British media has never given serious consideration to the likes of Dan Wheldon or Dario Franchitti, British sportsmen who became huge stars across the Atlantic. I find that disgraceful.

It is quite weird that the British press are so ignorant about British drivers overseas. There are now more British drivers in Indycar than in any other category. Surely it is something worth following?

But we can count ourselves very fortunate that we've been so many years without a fatality when you think that the drivers are millimetres apart at times.
Mainly because there have been dozens and dozens of races on similar tracks in the last 15 years. What happened was, maybe not unexpected, but it was definitely a worst case scenario that few could even predict in their holocaust nightmares. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it live.If all the Indycar drivers are individually so anti the scenarios of Vegas with the cars they have , the downforce and reduced power encouraging pack racing and speaking of the tragic outcome as being something that was inevitably going to happen, then why the fuck did they not all get together as soon as the event was known of, and say 'We wont race under these circumstances.' Is it because of the threat of being sacked for having such an opinion?

It amazes me people buy into this bullshit, especially from the guy who labelled the Dallara The Crap Wagon, I mean I like the guy cos he often tells it as it is, but more often than not he talks out his arse. You only have to cast your mind back a few years to see what happens when you get hit on the head by a wheel.
