@Claxton; Socrates, William Morris or TS Eliot?

I am just glad he wasn't driving. When I read the headline I thought,"Oh no, another rising star with an early burnout who wrapped his new Ferrari around a Russian power pole. Sounds like he'll be fine. I hope the others aren't too badly injured.
Tommy Searle wouldn't want to win that way, regardless. He is a class act as well.
