Why run on ovals anyway? It opens a whole new can of worms. Not to mention the fact that turns like tumburello are no longer part of the tour while the last turn at Indy is dubiously still in play. Politics? Of course. Just last year we were having another discussion right here about the same damn turn. In the thread we were going back and forth about how such a turn is approved for F1 use, why the paramedics took too long, etc... Heck, if Ralf drives hard again there next year he must have some big cojones. If it weren't for tires, it would be something else on that turn. In fact, I would be happily surprised if in a couple of years someone does not get seriously hurt in there. Should they have put a chicane in that spot? Of course. But that should have been done after last years race already. But if not, then take a devil may care attitude with the other tracks as well and put turns like tumburello back and watch people die. But sadly, for the next few weeks the discussion will be about who is at fault instead of the real issue which is the turn itself. In the end I feel bad for the fans. As for myself, I would rather spend the money in Motreal. Better track, better action, better food, better exchange rate.
