Formula One star Lewis Hamilton has said he is deeply saddened by the death of two McLaren workers in a sports car crash near the team's headquarters.
The 2008 world champion tweeted his condolences to their families, saying his thoughts and prayers were with them.
The men, named locally as 19-year-old Darren Hayes and Ollie Bourton, 22, died when the Subaru Impreza they were travelling in collided with a Ford Transit van on the A320 in Ottershaw near Woking, Surrey.
