The weirdest things happen on that track, much like during Alonso's crash there also isn't any footage of the accident in this case.

Going to be neat when some poo poo driver (looking at you, Max) crashes into a 12th century castle wall.

Why is there no barrier around turn 1? It's just a couple of pedestrian fences and portable buildings. They should have archers shooting arrows from the castle battlements.

So MotoGP/Moto2 just killed another driver, how long before they start bolting a huge bird cage to the bike around the driver?

Yea, also how could they continue to host these psychotic motorcycle races that injure and kill yearly, not once per decade? They should add side-cars with roll hoops to motoGP or ban the series completely No lives matter. I also preferred the aeroscreen, and liked a front roll hoop structure Ala "Top fuel" even more, both for egress during a fire reasons MattD1zzl3 fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Jun 3, 2016 |

Actually a canopy that slides directly forward on rails (with a backup hinge on the side for nose-on accidents) would be a great mixture between debris protection and "Can escape an upside down, on fire car".

The "upside down on fire car" thing is not a non-issue but I still think it isn't really as big as people claim, mainly since there are many, many safety improvements in F1 cars, circuits, and marshaling to mitigate fire risk, but comparatively few improvements to mitigate the risk of debris to the head.

It's never going to be like that again, and the sport is better for it. You are following a sport that revolves around technological progress, you're not allowed to bitch about how things were better "in the old days"

The Formula One Group describes Azerbaijan as having a “well-earned reputation as a modern European country.” Asked whether Azerbaijan’s human-rights record poses a problem, Formula 1 CEO Bernie Ecclestone has said, “I think everybody seems to be happy. There doesn’t seem to be any big problem there.” Well, if Bernie says so, it has to be true.

Whenever I read people bitching about full canopy in F1 and banging on about the good old days, I can't help but think of those lunatics in WW1 fighter planes who had no cockpit at all and would just throw grenades at each other. The idea of a modern fighter plane having no cockpit protection is just unfathomable, and yet because it's a sport it's OK in F1?

Marshals don't like the halo for that reason, it could have also hindered getting not-max out of that tyre wall. I don't like the halo because it's half arsed, they will stick that on and it will do, and we won't see full enclosed cockpits because of it.

They're continuing with development of the aeroscreen for 2018, though, that definitely seems like a step towards closed cockpits. Bryter fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Jun 3, 2016 |

The idea of a modern fighter plane having no cockpit protection is just unfathomable, and yet because it's a sport it's OK in F1? With the speeds that modern fighter planes travel, the pilots would be ripped apart if they didn't have a canopy. A canopy isn't a "safety feature" on a fighter jet, it's a necessity.
