Yeah. It's not clear how she died at the moment. Reading through what she's done in the last 18 months you'd have to say suicide would seem unlikely, unless she was hiding her depression really well. Perhaps some complication due to the accident.
Sad though. She seemed to have picked herself up after what must have been a traumatic affair.

More juice to the Red Bull KERS traction control (conspiracy) theory:

Video examples:
Listen to Vettels car when he starts accelerating and compare it to the rest
And then listen to what F1 car sounded when accelerating when traction control was still legal:
Vettels Red Bull sounds awfully different from the rest and awfully similar to F1 with traction control
And did Vettel slip something out?

They are just better at blowing their exhaust. Remember 2010-2011? They all sounded like that after a while, a really bad sound.

That was his first interview after the accusations and he was obviously making fun of the whole situation...
Could be haven't followed the story that close, but then again, there's often a bit of truth in every joke
Hulkenberg has competition for that seat at Lotus
He is a great driver and deserves a good seat next year, Lotus might gamble on someone else though ...

Bell showed new Kubica's F1 helmet on their FB page with interesting tite: Kubica's new racing helmet 2013 & 2014!!!!!!!!
This title was then gradually changed and whole story backtracked to a gift. But why would Bell make such a gift and then in official response to e-mail enquiries replied it was made to order?
Their reply from today:
Can anyone here tell me which team colours this helmet is painted?
Why Lotus in not in rush to announce their drivers? Why wait? Hint: WRC2 season is still on and there is one more race for RK to participate before coming out with official informations.
To sum it up, this might be just my wishful thinking, but it looks like RK is going to replace KR at Lotus next year same as KR replaced RK till now.
It could be Lotus or McLaren but gold touches point to former a bit more.
Just check Kimis and Grosjeans helmets.
Great qualifying at Suzuka!
It was so close between all drivers (maybe apart from RedBull) and changing wind just added extra tension!
Gratz to Webber for clinching his first Pole Position this year. Surely Vettel had KERS problems, but Mark did a great lap and that is what counts.
Hamilton, Grosjean and Massa excelled in their cars leaving their team mates a bit behind.
Tomorrows weather can mix a race even more and I do hope for a good start from Mark and Lewis so Vettel can't just drive away in opening laps

Apparently its Peter Prodromou, Red Bull's chief aerodynamicist. He was actually at McLaren during the Newey era and followed him across to Red Bull. Supposedly theres more, according to McLaren.

Alonso might move to McLaren, so it's not impossible for Kobayashi to replace him
Anyway, I think he's there probably as the reserve driver and doing some publicity works for Ferrari. Never hurt to have a Japanese in Japan
Just watching the qualifying and its quite telling that when vettels Kers stops working he slides out of a corner after blatantly just flooring it like a teenaged joyrider.
You have to admire the genius but when traction control has been banned why make a system that does the same thing through a different system.
This is why people boo vettel and don't really like red bull.

Only if Alonso leaves
But anyway, Kobayashi is driving for Ferrari this season, too, more precisely he's driving Ferrari's AF Corse in FIA World Endurance Championship

You never pay any attention, do you? Webber used a real wing with less downforce, giving him less traction out of the corners wich made it hard/impossible to pass Grosjean on the straight.
