Rain + unknown background + probably fucking with belts or radios or whatever + nobody should be standing in pit lane = crunch

Horse poo. He hit him on purpose. The photographer probably wasn't supposed to be there, and the driver showed him why. That was blatant.

Everyone could have been more alert in that situtation. Everyone.

Even that guy standing next to another car could have said "Hey dumbass, watch yourself"

Yeah, actually it does kinda look like he pretends to try and swerve. . . after the impact!
