I've just been looking at a compilation of last years crashes. From what I could tell the astroturf did nothing to prevent any of the crashes where a car was spinning, nor did it really cause an incident in dry conditions so why is it there?As for run off's, yes they are necessary to slow the car down but looking at last years incidents, the only thing that does stop a car that has left the track is a tyre wall. The tarmac only forgives a drivers mistake, it does not help in slowing a car down when compared to a gravel run off.Take away their safety nets and let the skill come back into keeping a car between the white lines!If anyone wants to see the same footage I've embedded it below.[media=dailymotion]xg3fmh_compilation-crash-f1-2010[/media]
