R.I.P. Henry. Saw that accident live. First I thought it hit him in front wing, but unfortunately it was the helmet.

Mosley wanted this Formula2 with a low budget but high safety standards... just look at the tyres: in F1 it's 5 or 6 years since they were tied to the cockpit so as to prevent them from flying off... in F2 they are free to fly and fall on the track.

R.I.P. Henry Surtees Crying or Very sad

In F2 is the same, tyres are tied as well. But the crash was too heavy, so it flew off anyway.

I don't think they're tied... even Henry's tyres were flying and his crash was not as heavy as Jack Clarke's one.
