Sad news, Rest in Peace.

The sooner legislation is brought in regarding the use of supercars the better, for all. Too much power in untrained hands. These are not your average set of wheels.

The likes of Verstappen, Hamilton and Norris dedicate a lifetime towards taming these beasts and still exercise cautions in the switchbacks and dummy moves. The tyres are checked and changed time and again over the course of one race. No, a Lamborghini isn’t F1 calibre, but neither is it a Rav 4 or C-class coupe.

Jota joins Jose Reyes and the many others before him. Tragic loss of life.

May his widow and children find strength and comfort to live on in his legacy.

Here we go again, legislation ko legislation ni. Why do some people always feel we need more govt in our lives to solve our problems? More overreach? What about people dieing everyday in mazdas, RAv 4s and mini vans? The people that buy lambos pay a premium to drive and enjoy them. Let them be. We already have enough laws with speed limits, driving tests etc. We don't need no nonsense legislation, people are gonna do what they do. That C-Class coupe in another person's hands would do the lambo.... if I got my hands on it.

can't shake off this incredibly sad feeling...
I mean, like all day...

@Felarey, it’s not about governing individual autonomy, the suggestion isn’t that the law stop people owning such cars, rather the requirement for a certain skillset to drive them. It’s the nature of man to assume his dominion over all things, at times unproven and untested.

Why would a regular drivers licence qualify anyone to drive a super car? Having passed a driving test in a Citroen C1, does that automatically imply competence to drive a Maclaren F1?

Yes, RTAs happen all day and those ending fatality are of no less importance. In this instance, it’s a common theme, young man, super car. Flash, fancy, fast, as pleasing as they are to the eye, these cars are beasts tamed only by skilled hands. To suggest such skill be a requirement to drive, is not only safeguarding the driver but the innocent bystander or road user. If there’s no learning to be had, then what, an acceptance as par for course?

Holy smoke. RIP

Coachito, no measure of skill can prevent an accident that’s the consequence of a tire blowout. The emphasis should be on proper vehicle maintenance and sensible operation of said vehicle regardless of what type of vehicle it happens to be.

I once had the wheel of a used car I had just bought break off. Fortunately, I wasn’t on a highway where I would have been traveling at a significant speed otherwise, only God knows what would have been my fate. Instead, I had just turned the corner on a city street and the car screeched to a halt as the wheel ended up about 50 yards from where it had broken off. I was just plain lucky


Cheers.

Innocent bystander? Every car is a potential 4000 pound weapon that could hurt the innocent bystander. Why pick on drivers of supercars? Govt should be trying to make our lives better not more difficult. They should be about getting more peeps in lambos not pushing those with lambos in grocery getters like RAV4. We can encourage supercar drivers to get some training but don't need another legislation from big govt. Soon you'd start throwing people in jail because they haven't taken yet another training. A lambo is a street legal car, some people daily it.

May their souls rest peacefully.

Papa, I don't have a lambo , just not a fan of more govt in people's lives. Yes I agree respectfully, this should continue to be about Diogo's passing.
