Also forgot one important thing. The two tracks (Spa and Monaco) have one thing that you do not realize until you are there in person... their altitude changes are pretty dramatic and you simply cannot see or feel that on television. Start walking the hills around there and all of a sudden you understand what its really like.
Well gents, after watching the race on TIVO last night IMHO Grosjean got off lightly. My gut feeling is that the older experienced hands in F1 are tired of this "young pup's" accidents and would not surprise me one bit if they have a drivers meeting after this and tell him "one more cock-up of any sort and we will go to the FIA en-masse and ask them to revoke your Super License!"
He is fast enough but the signal from the brain to the brake pedal just isnt working yet and at this time he is too dangerous to be allowed on track...
