One person died from magic mushrooms and they were made illegal. Will the same be happening for motor sports?

Pretty bad week for motorsport. Dan Wheldon came as a big shock for me, as one of the most successful British sportsmen that no-one has ever heard of (except for people that follow motor racing).

Indycar racing and motorbike racing are probably as much more dangerous than F1 as F1 is than driving a normal car on the road though.*

*Made up.

There will be a lot of soul searching from Rhys on this.
