Ferrari Mailing List: Re: F1

Ditto's.....
It must be sad to be a young and coming driver who has always dreamed of 
becoming a F1 Pilote only to find he's become a head in a slot car 
contest.   The sex appeal has been gone for me since around 1995.   I 
don't ever want to see anyone hurt and I am always annoyed by those who 
attend races hoping to see some blood but F1 will never be "safe".   
While they move to sanitize things and slow the cars they are having the 
unintended consequence of making F1 less interesting.   I always looked 
for the technical excellence the F1 cars attained.  I regret the time in 
the late 60s/early 70s when drivers were killed monthly but there were 
so many things they could have done that didn't involve removing driver 
input.    Having more emergency help around the track with fire fighting 
equipment for one.

Anyway, on a plus the cars are so freaking fast and turn in so insanely 
quickly they're almost impossible NOT to watch.   I could go on and on 
but would only bore you to tears....  ;-)
