The Weekly Grapevine
This week, Dieter Rencken looks at safety (or lack thereof) in testing, and the teams that could be floating. On water, that is.
Safety in Testing "In a sensible world we would eliminate this trekking to every circuit for pre-race practice. If it is to continue we must ensure that 'race' standards apply to rescue work. When we consider the price of an F1 engine, several of which expire in these sessions, the cost of a helicopter should need no discussion." -- Nigel Roebuck, Inside F1.
