darcym makes a good point and asks fair questions. I can't remember so much here, but the other site I go on, they went nuts over Grosjean last year, whereas I didn't think he was even the worst crasher I had seen.

People are very sensitive nowdays? People like complaining?

The nature of the race has to change. People seem to accept that racing is about being flat out all the way. It isn't. It's a long drawn out drag, like a time trial. If you take out the thinking that qualifying intensity is needed for the whole race, you take out the desperation. You allow competitors the opportunity to be "sensible" when attempting to overtake or defend.

Do you remember Hakkinen missing the 94 Hungarian GP for cause the mess at the start of the German GP?
