As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.
If wasn't for their deaths and the work of guys like Jackie Stewart you would still have guys dying in Formula 1 races every year.
Very true. Safety in Formula 1 was a sick joke through a good part of the 1970s. Jackie Stewart has to be credited with a lot of the way F1 has evolved over the years. You look at some of the most recent serious accidents - Heikki in Spain this month or Kubica in Canada last summer - the efforts made to improve the safety of the cars and circuits have made a drivers' survival from serious crash increase many, many times. With exception to a couple of course workers loosing their lives within the past decade, a Formula 1 driver has not been lost since May of 1994 when Senna and Ratzenberger (sp?) were killed at Imola.
