First accident (in Cambridge?) he lost control of the car and hit a tree the engine and gear box ended up quite far away from the rest of the car.

Second time did he hit a senior citizen when he was pulling out of a junction or they were.

"The car was quickly transported to McLaren for their assessment, and after four weeks the bill was in: £910,000. Fortunately, thanks to the astronomical rise in F1 values, repairing the car was a no-brainer for the insurance company."

Is it just me, or does this make no sense?

The car was originally bought for half a mill. Increase in value meant the car was worth alot more than the original purchase price.

Also finding the expertise to repair the car.
