Jack Clarke pays tribute to Henry Surtees
Jack Clarke pays tribute to Henry Surtees:
"Henry's death is a huge shock. I am devastated, and I know that
it will affect every driver in Formula Two. A tragic accident took
Henry's life, and I will remember Sunday 19th July for the rest of
my life not just for the sadness and hurt I felt, but for a driver
who had it all and such a great future ahead of him.
"It seems strange that on Sunday morning we were all laughing
and signing autographs and looking forward to an exciting race.
Henry was on good form, having scored a podium in race one, and
from racing with Henry I know for a fact that he was rising to the
top. He had proved himself to be a quality driver and a hard racer.
I have seen first hand how motorsport can be cruel and he was a
mature driver who knew the risks.
"I hope we can go onwards from now with Henry's competitive
spirit in our hearts and make the most of the F2 season. I know he
would have wanted this. I also find it humbling how the Formula Two
community has pulled together in this tragedy doing everything they
can to support everyone affected by the tragedy.
"I want to send my sincere condolences to Henry's family. They
must have been immensely proud of him and their devastation must be
incomprehensible."
Jack
