The wall used to be further back. It was moved inwards in 1999 for safety reasons, as part of a track upgrade

Every little incident in motor racing could have had a worse outcome if one factor was a little different, what happened last weekend is not a special case.

It was a big crash, the drivers survived, the track is as safe as it has ever been. Why are we looking for issues with it?
