Look at the inside of Bridge - a nice strip of gravel to stop drivers cutting the corner. Now we just need that on corner exits and problem solved.

Re: Sausage kerbs
Thinking outside the box slightly here. Surely the technologies available where they could install a sensor in a kerb & one in the car & if a car ran wide those sensors would talk to one another & then automatically drop say 50 -100 hp out of the engine for say 5 seconds. Would something like that ...

Re: Sausage kerbs
It's going to take a monumental shunt involving the sausage kerbs to get the FIA to act. One accident that I regularly think back to is Barrichello's practice shunt at Imola '94. I remember seeing the car take off over the kerb and thinking 'wow, they really need to flatten those out'. Then they di...

If that points system is to stay, I think that to justify its existance the sprint needs to offer some element of chance to its grid.

Re: Sebastian Vettel to appear on BBC Question time
I thought he was looking a bit hirsute and hippie this year! Maybe soon he'll give up F1 to go and glue himself to the M25! Nice to see a driver (along with Hamilton) with the brains and awareness to consider the real world outside F1, but that does prove that he's no longer F1-obsessed enough to b...

Prefer him without the beard (did the BBC make him shave?) - only managing to view snippets as in work at the mo, so might have to wait until tonight.
His opening contribution sounded well-thought out and constructive.
