Tire Barriers
From SpeedTV:

Quote:
The FIA's safety experts are taking a close look at the crash helmet Giancarlo Fisichella was wearing when he went off at the top of Eau Rouge during the Belgian GP.

...The Italian's helmet struck part of the tire wall, scratching the visor and more significantly putting a gouge in the carbon shell.

...The damage is thought to have been done by one of the bolts holding the rubber belt that retains the tires, and therefore there could be changes introduced to the system the FIA specifies to the circuits in the future.

Bloody hell! Those visors are nigh on bullet proof. (Well they have to stop a projectile such as a stone hitting it at 200m.p.h.) Could've been nasty that!

Spa had a bad weekend with barriers this season it seems!

If Mini's weren't mowing them down (which they are meant to do of course) Fisi is exposing small errors.

Although I guess this is a minor problem, easily rectified. No need for overkill here, one would assume.

Let's just line the track with marshmellow fluff!
Making crashes safe and delicious!

Seriously, it's just a little dent in the helmet. Nothing to have a heart attack over.

Bring back catch fences.

Let's also bring back rupturable fuel tanks so that drivers can remain trapped under catch fencing and unable to escape.

Catch fences were a disaster!
