Other than that the rest of the accident was fairly tame, with just bits of car flying everywhere, which makes it 'look' more spectacular.
But F1 has done well recently, without any major crashes for a while.
The reason the FIA moan about silverstone, is because of the pit facilities are not exactly up to scratch, for some reason, and need updating. But I think they are putting a lot of money into it to bring it up to standard.
It'd be nice to see the GP return to Donnington again.  |
The pits at silverstone just back out on to a car park pretty much, they're fairly small and a bit more open to what F1 is used to i think, and on kubica's crash i'm not sure i agree, if you watch the way the guy is thrown around as the remaining cockpit of his car bounces around the place it's pretty nasty
