Too much safety car?? any need for full wet tyres??

[no-FIAt-please]

The likes of Hamilton definetely have the confidence, as does Button, maybe its a British thing?

I doubt it, half the grid is considered to be good in the rain...

There's a difference between been good at racing on a damp track and having the confidence to go out in conditions that require the full wet.

I can understand them stopping the race when it was too dangerous but they were defiantely over cautious especially at the start when it wasn't even raining!

Health and safety gone too far?

As we all know, health and safety is of paramount importance

As much as I think Health and Safety has gone too far, I can think of a few reasons on why they didn't race with full wets, these wet tyres have lesser tread we have been told compared to the wet Bridgestones tyres, another thing is Alonso said they wear a lot compared to the Bridgetones.

However, I do think it's getting a bit too much with the safety cars it stayed out for too long every time it was deployed...don't know if they where being kind to Bernd Maylander making get some glory of most laps lead or not...but it was really irritating lap after lap thinking when is this safety car period going to end.

Basically, you know that the safety car has been out too long if the drivers are happy. Drivers always complain and always will, that's why we enjoy seeing them 'get on with it'.

Trulli would say that, the safety car is the only thing he can keep up with at the moment.........

No need for the question mark there.
