Wow I cannot believe why a fabulously wealthy person would want to stop doing a thing that might kill them??

Reminds me of when Chris Borland, an NFL linebacker with a lot of potential, retired after one year because of concussion worries.

Apparently he's completely different and way more normal when he doesn't have some media dude with a microphone pointed at his face.

Most people are, especially athletes who aren't fond of the spotlight. For example: Marshawn Lynch kept on getting in to trouble for not talking to the press (while Richard Sherman loves it).

Also, Gregg Popovich

They were banned because the fear was if you had an accident mid corner that damaged the skirt the cars you'd see some pretty horrific accidents resulting from a car losing all of its grip all at once.

That's one of those accidents you sort of want to see just to see how bad it can be, but at the same time you totally don't.

Speaking of other racing, nobody is as serious about pit stops as Japanese pit crews are. All non Japanese pit crews should hang their heads in shame. It's hard to believe a culture as serious as this could make something as bad as anime.

That's like some weird hybrid between Indy and NASCAR stops, with a dash of F1 thrown in for good measure.

incoming hot take:

Ya know, the more I think about it, both F1 and NASCAR are similar. Big egos, the "pinnacle" of their type of racing (open wheel and stock), and wanting to institute gimmicks to try to recapture the popularity of the sport at its peak.

NASCAR at least has the advantage of owning the tracks they race on instead of charging $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, so it's less of a blatant money grab, but it does institute said gimmicks.

Meanwhile, young people can't care less and go and watch WRX or motocross.
