So your solution is to fling a rescue truck out onto the track immediately, regardless of whether race traffic is under control or not? THAT is a huge incident just waiting to happen.

It's an imperfect world. Racing is dangerous. While things can always be improved (safer barrier, pit lane speed limits etc) other things are more more complicated and problematic in a real world situation. IMO this is one of them.

To me, that was the gold standard of safety team work on any level of motor sports. From what I've seen this year, Zanardi would've been a goner if his crash happened this year.
