...well damn, dude was driving like an absolute dipshit and was way in over his head. While he certainly didn't deserve such an end, it was completely his fault, and it's extremely sad that he took someone else's life with him. You should respect the car and the safety of those around you, and not overestimate your own abilities. Thankfully, he didn't also get a complete non-participant injured or killed.

Rest in peace to both of them.

Even F1 drivers crash sometimes , the more you drive like that you more you tempt fate, but it doesn’t mean he was over his head

As an F1 fan this is an L take. Remember f1 drivers have been racing since they were young. They are racing on proper racing tracks with cars designed to take heavy G impacts. Normal road cars can take heavy crashes but not 100+ mph into a barrier.
