I asked Surtees these questions about his son. He answered, and I'll never forget it, "We shall see." Here is the sad story in London's Telegraph, just terrible.... I feel sorry to even pass it on.

I just received the book today and I'm looking forward to reading it.
Sad to hear about Henry Surtees. I saw a link to a story which had a video from a German TV station. It was a tragic and freak accident where another car crashed a lost a wheel and the wheel flew in to the air.
