India, April 20 -- Veteran endurance driver Juha Miettinen was killed in a seven-car pile-up during a race at Germany's Nuerburgring on Saturday. The race, which also featured four-time Formula One world champion Max Verstappen, was halted after the accident with organisers suspending the event. It was part of the Nuerburgring Langstrecken Series qualifiers for a 24-hour race to be held in May, in which Verstappen is set to take part. The Dutchman was not on the course at the time of the accident but is due to drive on Sunday. The accident took place just 25 minutes into the four-hour event before an incline at the Klostertal stage of the track. Miettinen, 66, died in the course medical centre, while six other drivers were hospitalised with non-life-threatening injuries. Verstappen said he was "shocked" by the accident and Miettinen's death. "Motorsport is something we all love, but in times like this it is a reminder of how dangerous it can be," he said. P14...
