Incident-filled Canadian GP

Although I did not manage to catch the Canadian GP, it was an incident-packed one. Needless to say, the horrific crash that happened to BMW-Sauber driver Kubica was the one which got many talking and there were even videos of that moment posted on YouTube. Miraculously, Kubica was not seriously hurt except for a broken ankle. Basically, what remained of the crashed car was the cabin and I think the fuel tank according to the video clip. Speaks volume of the safety of these cars despite their lightweight. Compared to when the late Arton Senna crashed and died in the San Marino GP in 1994, F1 cars have been much more rigid with the increase of horsepower and obviously, speed.

Moral of the story: F1 is exciting but only when limited to the track and done with much care, experience and with the right machinery. Some dumb folks just like to speed on public roads and end up dead, paralysed or causing hurt to other innocent roadusers.

Drive Safe. Stay Alive.
