I think JJ's comments have been blown out of proportion because they have little merit being based on emotion and from completely different frame of mind regarding racing. Mario and AJ are going to defend their sport no matter what; that is their right, but comparing the safety today to when those two drove is somewhat off base as well. ALL forms of motorsports have had seen vast improvements in safety since "their day".

This is not a knock on either Mario or AJ, both whom I have the utmost respect for, is that the article conveniently doesn't have the two legends addressing the specifics regarding the circumstances that led up to this tragedy, other than Mario saying it was "freak", which is completely wrong, IMHO.
