Come on guys. This is racing and yes, it's very dangerous.
Very sad to lose such a young guy but this was in many ways a rare accident. An extra chicane in Eau Rouge (and Pouhon? and Blanchimont?) would spoil the thrill of this legendary circuit. And basically of F1. Remember how safety measures killed the great old Hockenheimring? Nowadays a very clinical and boring track. What bothers me about the incident though is that drivers were blasting flat out through the runoff area. The fatal collision even took place in the runoff area and that is crazy.

Perhaps building a straight bridge between La Source and Radillon will make it safer

https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/f...eau-rouge.html Take a moment and read this...it's the history of Eau Rouge....I remember the temporary chicane installed halfway up the Eau Rouge hill after Senna's demise in 1994 (see pic #2 of 6)....it was pathetic....if the speeds are too high at Eau Rouge, perhaps the double apex decreasing radius turn at Pouhon (Turn 12) should be straightened out....as EdM5 stated, the shunt that claimed Hubert occurred off-track....leading to the thought that if a car is nearly stopped in a runoff area, and another car enters the runoff area out of control....bad things are going to happen.

Thanks for the video. It makes it clear how all the little events snowballed into the disaster. I'm not blaming anyone, but if there was someway to go to yellow/double yellow/red flags as soon as Alesi was a hazard, it might slowed everybody down. |

Reminds me of the Group B rally days. Those must have been really different times for behavior like that to be allowed!

Those were the days before 'health and safety' came in.The Ford Escorts with huge rear flared wings with thin tyres and the fastest moving things were the fans running out of the way before they arrived.
