I assume that was Senna; it normally is him in the wall...(Actually, just noticed you can make out his name on the cockpit).
Second crash in that

Are there any UK channels that we can watch this on? Is that Formula E?
It's not something I've read, or even heard, a lot about so don't really know what's going on...
ITV4 and ITV4 HD
channel numbers - freeview 24, sky 225, virgin 118, freesat 117

Round 8 is on Saturday at 2PM on ITV 4, so you could watch that - http://www.radiotimes.com/tv-program...6-berlin-eprix
http://fiaformulae.com/en/championship/rules/ for the basic rule set
Ahh, to be fair that wasn't his fault. We had a few suspension failures during the first half of the first season. Buemi's faillure was his fault though; he just clipped the wall.
Senna had a much more interesting crash at Monaco last year: -

I think I was busy trying to fix his second car at the time!
To sort of stay on topic of being rear-ended, this one from Long Beach this year seems more appropriate.

They cancelled the race afterwards in Moscow, so the next race after this weekend, and the last one of this season (a season runs from September to July) is London 6 weeks later on 2-3 July. Although, thanks to NIMBY'ism at its best, the locals are trying to get that cancelled!

2.0 TDI Passat estate.
Yuck.
OH DEAR GOD
So I took the Passat out briefly. I hated every second of it. Barely moves at all at low revs, so I press the pedal a bit more, and it lurches forwards. Same when braking - barely slows down, or judders me out of my seat.
Everything to do going to/from stationary in this thing is horrid.
How do you petrol/diesel people do it? You have my abject pity. And it's 100% cemented in my mind that my next car will be a pure EV.
Tesla!
Clutch control and progressive braking? I drive a different car every time I drive and don't seem to have any problems....
Auto
Has significantly gone up my priority list, in the last couple of hours
No-one to blame but yourself then
Throttle control.
"In a perfect world... spammers would get caught, go to jail, and share a cell with many men who have enlarged their penises, taken Viagra and are looking for a new relationship."
Hire car, I assume?
Two words for you, then, that explains everything wrong with it - HIRE CAR!!
How the hell did you manage to pass your test, then?
I drive hire cars; never had much problem with them, and had some REALLY (surprisingly) nice drives occasionally (Fiat 500L Diesel. Seriously. Lovely car).
OTOH I drove a hire Auto once. Never again. Hate the things.
A bad throttle map is unpleasant to drive, as is a bad auto box, and badly implemented/over sensitive ABS. It sounds like your Passat has all that.
... or perhaps it is part of the fabled VW defeat device. Emissions will be much lower if you decide you would rather walk...
Seriously though, you can't blame a duff vehicle on the fuel. I'm sure you could stuff up the design of a pure EV easily enough.
