Really sad, I was never really into F1 too much, Colin Mcrae was my driving hero.

I dont think he meant that, I think he tried to imply he wasnt an F1 fan and that McRae was his motorsport hero being a WRC driver

i feel sorry for the two kids. Colin had a succesful if short life. The kids will never get a chance.
I just hope they weren't aware what was happening.
