From the Pulpit
Matt Bishop returns from the Montreal paddock with notes and observations on the recent rounds of speculations in the driver market, and with a sense of gratitude for those miracles that we still experience in Formula One from time to time
On the morning of Monday, June 11, Daniel Morelli drove a BMW Canada-supplied BMW X3 from the Delta Centre Ville Hotel in downtown Montreal to the city's Sacre-Coeur Hospital, to visit the driver he manages, Robert Kubica.
But, were it not for the tireless safety work, sponsored by FIA president Max Mosley and F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone (and carried out by many others, less eminent but no less worthy), that has taken place over the past few years - and especially since the tragedies of Imola 1994, when both Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna were killed on track - Morelli would have been driving to the mortuary instead. Of that there can be little doubt.
