There was a time in F1 when drivers clamoured for safety reform, now they say it's going too far. It's a symptom of the modern (western) world. I fear that the trend is over-zealous, that it will continue, and that it may produce more ugly car-extensions and somewhat sterile racing conditions. The drivers are against excessive use of the safety car, and it's their lives on the line - which in my view is the end of the argument.I'm in agreement with you [USER=4479]F1Brits_90[/USER] except where it comes to Bianchi. My view is that at that time there was great pressure for drivers not to lose time under yellow flags by going too slowly. I remember reading somewhere that drivers who backed off too much under yellows were slammed by their team for losing precious tenths. That I believe has been addressed. No doubt the fading light was an issue, but the main reason Bianchi left the track was because he was going too fast to stay on it under yellow flags.
