Or two car have a small brush with each other, leave a small shard of CF on the track which punctures a tyre and the car goes off at high speed taking others with it. Or spears off the track at low speed into a couple of marshals dealing with a beached car. Or...

Motor racing is dangerous. If you don't like what they do don't watch it. But as the person who is always giving the thumbs up to MotoGP and its support races on here, which has killed more people in the last five years than F1 has in the previous 20, perhaps we should ban motorbike racing before we worry about a few pieces of rubber or CF on a car race-track?

If safety is your primary concern, at least keep a sense of perspective and start with the most dangerous motorsport of all.
