I agree. Spa is dangerous in the rain but there have been attempts to make it safer over the years but it’s still an old school style track. Jeddah is a new track that could be argued was designed to be dangerous; it’s very fast with little run off and a lot of blind corners.
Jeddah is unnerving to watch. If I remember, drivers often report it being one of the most stressful and tiring races because of the requirements to be attentive.
I mean there are fewer missile strikes in Spa so he’s got a point
Max is probably right but that doesn’t make Spa (my favorite track!) “safe”. Two deaths in 4 years is very unusual for modern motor racing. Something needs to be done with Raidillon, like automatic instant yellow flags whenever a car leaves the track.
Or maybe a speed limit through Raidillon in the rain makes sense.
Spa is an older track, with a lot of change already to it. I’m all for safety but more damage to the environment is not something the government will allow, so if they push for a safer Spa, then there will be no Spa.
I think in this case they could have stopped the race, because every track would have been dangerous in this conditions.
