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

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.
