Rest in peace Luis, though I did not know you, see you, or hear of you, you lived your dreams. And for that, I look up to you.
Terrible news. It’s always tragic to hear of someone losing their life whilst competing in motorsport.
Thoughts are with his friends and family. RIP
Τerrible news. RIP Luis.

Is this the most fatal Macau GP so far?
RIP to both racer.
This is awful. RIP to both drivers, and of course let’s hope the weekend has no more fatal accidents.
This isn’t good, I’m not going to pretend I knew either of the two racers but it’s sad to have two fatalities over the weekend. Please, no more.
RIP

Absolutely awful news. We all know that motorsport is dangerous, and that Macau isn’t exactly a Tikle-drome, but it’s still shocking when a tragedy happens.
