    Actually, a cage might have helped - Senna's helmet was pierced by a right front suspension piece that came back up into the cockpit.

    But, I'm with you, Giles. I haven't got used to the closed cockpits they have now, let alone the coming changes. Formula One is supposed to be dangerous. While I don't miss gravel traps, per se, I am a bit tired of drivers being able to make monumental mistakes and get away with it.

      I agree with Giles here.. F1 is the only 4 wheel motorsport I watch religiously, and it the open air design were to go away, then i probably will too.

      Rear bumper is interesting.  The reason Grosjean was launched over Alonso was (as far as i can see) due to the fact that Lewis was attached to the rear of grosjean.  Lewis had no steering but his rear wheels still driving the Lotus up and over the Ferrari.  Perhaps if Lewis had hit a Lotus bumper the whole thing would have been a lot less severe?  Who knows.

      Having said all that, death is extremely rare in the highest form of motorsport we have.  Not bad if you ask me.

        Lewis wouldn't have hit the back of the Lotus at all. Grosjean side-swiped the McLaren, which then swung the Lotus in front of the McLaren pushing it over the front of the Ferrari which was banking into the corner.

        Lane discipline and respect for other drivers is far more important than added safety features. This was caused by human error not mechanical failure. In short: the driver fucked up.

        I agree with all of you: open wheel and open cockpit define Formula 1.  😘

              Love the little inbuilt jacks, so they can get the car of it's wheels super quick…

              A few tyres -  14 used over the weekend at USD600 a pop - it all starts to mount up

              This is all I am allowed to drive

              Refuelling the manual way - can still dump about 50 litres in 3 secs

                              I don't know, his legs ain't too bad, although the dudicious application of a paper bag may be required.

                              just wear - don´t compare - what matters is that one loves what one is wearing…

                                You feckers.  The pic will now be as large as I can make it.  BTW, my legs won't be on display.  GT cars have a tendency to catch fire, so I will not be allowed onto the grid (or even the pit wall) in my shorts when the GT cars are there or racing….
