Henry Surtees was killed a week ago in a Formula 2 race after a wheel came off from a crashed car and hit him in the head.
That's a stiff penalty for that though. It's racing, shit happens. Every racer knows the risks they face each time they strap themselves in.
Renault is appealing the ban though.
