Weekend review and results round-up
Events elsewhere in motorsport this weekend were utterly overshadowed by the death of Dan Wheldon in a horrifying 15-car crash early in the IndyCar Series finale at Las Vegas
The Indianapolis 500 winner and former series champion was launched into a violent roll into the wall and fencing during the incident, and sustained unsurvivable injuries. The race was abandoned, with the remaining undamaged cars completing five parade laps in Wheldon's honour. Dario Franchitti clinched his fourth title, but in the most joyless of fashion.
Before the tragedy in America, it had been a weekend of celebrating triumphs, as Sebastian Vettel's Korean Grand Prix win made Red Bull constructors' champion again, Casey Stoner clinched the MotoGP title as a warm-up crash sidelined rival Jorge Lorenzo, and Matt Neal fought off all his rivals to claim a third British Touring Car crown at Silverstone.
