	In Memoriam: "Fon" de Portago - FerrariChat.com
		Portago's accident was caused by tire failure, but the tire failed because it was rubbing on slightly damaged bodywork and that compromised the tire.
		At his last stop, Portago was informed that the tire may be damaged and of the danger but he chose to not have the tire changed because of the time he would lose.
		Portago never became a great racing driver because his poor judgement resulted in death before he was able to build the experience required to gain good judgement.
