What kind of soap opera do you think the FIA can write for this weekend?
Lights, Cameras, Inaction!
After watching practice today on itv.com, when did tracks become so sterile?? Modern F1 drivers are so pampered! There shouldn't be an option to cut a chicane or run wide in a corner, if you mess it up, there should be a big gravel trap or brick wall to eat you up - out the race and leaving you to explain to the team why your a cock!
Whatever happened to Motorsport is dangerous, don't get me wrong, I cried like a baby when Senna was killed but surely the danger element is being somewhat diluted. Surely our road-going vehicles benefit from better car safety not better track safety?
I think the reason teams battle for 1/10ths of seconds is because the penalty for over-stepping the mark is to simply run wide onto more tarmac not writing off a car, wheres the skill in that?
Being a modern car person, only now do I look back and think what men the likes of Hill, Moss, Stewart & the rest were!
