First Richard, nor Colin. Man these top drivers are having some bad times. My condolences to the McRae family. Rest in peace Colin, you were among the best, always.

Not to forget Niki Lauda, who also met with an untimely death.

A true champion. Goodbye.

Shockking!
It is indeed a sad news and a very bad one. RIP Mcrae!

Saw the title and was relieved to read that he was not on board. But, it was bad news waiting inside. Our prayers are always with him. He was one driver and he gave everything to his driving. We are really going to miss him.

Sad day for the WRC and Motorsport community. One of the best, has come to rest.
