That dangerous hairpin at Montreal

[ShiftingGears]

Indeed it would be. More hairy for spectators, but more picturesque. And?

Kubica's accident was similar to Greg Moore death at California which claimed his life.

The concrete wall at the problematic area in Montreal is not the problem.

What happened was that Kubica was forced onto the grass at speed, hit a piece of asphalt paving which launched his car into the air and smack into the barriers.

In the case of Greg Moore, its why we have asphalt run off because its easier for a car to scrub speed when its spinning off on four wheels - which is why in America, on the large ovals, there's huge asphalt run off on the exit of T2.

I'm not an expert. I have no idea whether that concrete wall in question should be demolished and replace it with asphalt or a sandtrap. What I do know is that grass and asphalt DO NOT MIX.

...........and it wouldn't take all that time to put up or remove, blocking my bicycle path each year for 6 weeks at a time.


I'm just being silly here - it's 10 o'clock, and I am waiting for Boston Leagal.

Well, if his car had bounced over that stubb wall, somebody else would have been killed - did you think about that?

Nope.

I am still against it. All it takes is one small change before tons of things are changed to neuter the sport.

It always makes me laugh at how Bernie can criticise Silverstone for having poor facilities but he never says anything about Montreal....

Has Bernie ever critisized Silverstone for poor safety standards?

I don't really understand the sudden concern for increased safety at the hairpin...
Did the wall not perform exactly as intended?


Boston Legal

First thing, Canada got the best F1 fans thanks Canada for a great show. But I agree something have to change, the wall on the Canadian race track is very dangerous. Kubica is very lucky, it's needs to change. F1 is becoming more and more safer Canada F1 need to do something about that wall.

Accidents are always going to happen. Do we raise every wall on every track just in case?
