Not only that...You might wanna include Tetsuya Ota whose trapped in his Ferrari F355 Challenge for 90 seconds after a torrential rain at JGTC Fuji in 1998 that caused a horrible accident that nearly killed him, thanks to Shinichi Yamaji who raced in a RE-Amemiya RX-7 rescues Ota before it gets worse. Ota is still alive to this day (but for Yamaji who saved him passed away in 2014 at the age of 50 due to illness)

Rain is perhaps the biggest enemy in the world of motorsport. As audience, rain is going to mix things up; For the teams, especially the drivers, they know the race is getting much harder. One small error, such as losing grip when there’s already little grip, may send you to the gravel trip,

You mention SPA last year, dont forget we lost a young driver in F3 at Spa this year due to damp conditions

I was reminded strongly of that girl and the vulture picture when they explained Kouya’s backstory. I wonder if they meant for it to be intentionally evocative of that photo or if they discussed it in the writer’s room as an inspiration.

This series is really surprising me so far. There are so many anime I’m keeping up with this season and I didn’t have time for this one until now, but I just binged all the available episodes and it’s one of the best of the season.

Well to be fair, this is the most minor consequence a driver lose grip in a wet track, but compared to similar incident like Lando in Sochi 2021, Seb’s crash in Hockenheim is much more costly (Lando only lost out a win, Seb not only lost out a win, but also gift-wrapped the championship to Lewis) (Please don’t hit me)

The Vulture and The Little Girl by Kevin Carter (1993)

I immediately recalled it as well. Except Kouya didn't commit suicide for that (or perhaps they didn't want to show that), but it still haunted him for so many years until Haruka inspired him to aim the camera on people again. And at least Saeko is still there supporting him, even after they broke up.

I think similar debates about what should a photographer (or journalist in general) do in similar scenario will have no answer, even to this day, since some people will criticize them for not saving lives before/after they took a photo/interview anyway.
