FIA revises Montreal ‘s Turn 1 barrier after F1 driver complaints
Good to see. The way drivers had to rejoin the track was really strange. Not to mention dangerous.
You're viewing a single thread.
with Lewis Hamilton apparently pointing out that he’d never seen a car have the type of accident that the barrier extension was designed to prevent.
Sure, it's not like there have been freak accidents in motorsport that killed people. If some day it does happen, everyone is blaming the FIA for not preventing it.
Concerns are fine and perhaps the wall is bad, but this comment is ridiculous.
I agree. Just because you have not seen it doesn't mean it can't (or won't) happen.
Yep, there is no reason to wait for someone to die to make changes to a dangerous turn on a circuit. Being proactive is always a good thing, even if they don’t get it right on the first attempt.
