Yeah, I've not ever really understood how F1 can run around, at high speed, on a street circuit with rock hard barriers forming most of the track limits, yet no one bats an eye lid when drivers plough into them at 300+ kph with tyres and debris flying everywhere. Why it that?
Kimi got up and walked away from a point blank, head first, full speed, smack into a rock hard barrier. He walked away! Now, as a fan, who continues to see this happening, what part of that is un-safe? I've seen cars do cartwheels, flips, disintegrate into a thousand pieces, roll over each every thing else, and the drivers walk away, with minor injuries, if any.
What we have seen is flying debris causing more issues than single accidents at high impact. With that in mind, I again ask the question:
