Yes I agree. It was very short on correct information.
No mentioned that the AH was impounded by the French police and let go 18
months with no blame and too bad that the French investigation report was
not mentioned which stated:
"Mr Hawthorn, driver of Jaguar car No. 6 . overtook on the left the car No
26 driven by Lance Macklin, then suddenly came back on the right and braked;
Macklin, surprised by such driving inclined to the left just as he was
joined by car No. 20 driven by Levegh who, trying to pass on the extreme
left of the track, happened to collide with the left side of car No. 26 and
ran against the safety banking."

Typically there was as much misinformation in the article as information.
And
the commenters are a bunch of incontinent old ladies. They want to blame the
car for the accident. One guy thinks it should be crushed another thinks
racing should be banned etc. I think they should stick to knitting. You can
live until you die of boredom that way...
