As asking as these cars are for Christ sakes driving them at 300km/h on a public road is INSANE. Perhaps this driver knew what he was doing. But the mere variable of OTHERS sharing the same road shows some sort of invincibility to him. Like motorcyclists say. "it's not the bike that'll kill you, it's the other drivers."
300km/h leaves you with little reaction time to someone else's blunder. You're putting your trust in them. That's blind.
That said hope they pull through and slow down for god sakes. What's the point? On a public road!?!?!

Well, it IS allowed on the Autobahn. It's not like he was driving in excess of posted laws. The driver who cut him off is the one at fault. I've had these sorts of experiences on an almost daily basis in the "States", although the rather sedate 65MPH speed limits here do give a bit more reaction time.
