I don't think somebody deserves to die simply because they do a job that contains a risk element,and that risk element kills them.
To say 'well,he was a motor racing driver,or a jockey,so no great loss' is simply a very inhumane way to view the death of a human being.
Every job in the world probably has the potential for injury,but I don't say 'goes with the territory,so I don't give a fck' if a joyrider mows down a lollypop lady.
Well to be fair to Dubai Blue he has never said that anyone deserves to die. And did he say the bit you have quoted?
However you are telling him who he should and should not have sympathy for, when you are making those choices for yourself. I'll be honest and say if someone in F1 died then I'm not sure how much sympathy I would have. I have no connection with the sport and whilst I would hope it didnt happen it wouldnt affect me in anyway.
So unless you have sympathy for everyone who dies you can't really tell others who they should and shouldnt have sympathy for.
