None of the other accidents have ever bothered him. Of course, there is a first time for everything, but Colin has spent the last two weeks trying to analyze the crash. He has watched the videos, he has seen the magazine. He has been to see the car. He is not afraid of it.
Major crashes affect drivers in different ways.
Mika Hakkinen came close to dying after a crash in the Australian Grand Prix in Adelaide. He returned a better driver. Belgium's Freddy Loix, rally teammate to Makinen at Mitsubishi, broke his neck in a huge crash during last year's Safari Rally. He has never driven as well since. This is his business.
