Formula One still continues.
Seven deaths by crash throughout history hadn't ended the sport. The eighth, no matter how harrowing or tragic, would not either.
It was the hard truth motorsport, and the world in general, had learned to live with. The wheel never stopped turning and the line would remain moving, season after season, year after year, and decade after decade. Finally, era after era, the cycle would keep going.
The calendar would never stay empty because this was literally many persons' means of income. Regardless of how much was earned, ranging from a simple garage janitor or a track cleaner, to a multi-billionaire like Mr. Marchetti, Formula One was still the core source of their livelihood. It was the center of everything for them.
