    Probably the only man that Senna would listen to!!
    I read Sids book very amusing and F1 safety would not be where it is today if it wasnt for the Profs pushing and shoving to get things sorted and he wasnt a young man when he came into F1
    Yes I know Im behind you guys, i like warm beer and it rains a lot here too.

    Motorsport is so lucky to have this calibre of person involved, and there are alot of them out there, and it is a pity we do not acknowledge them more often and not wait until they pass.

    Jackie Stewart was lambasted in the 60s when he said we need seat belts in race cars
    it was that much earlier that proper crash helmets where worn replacing leather flying hats

    what i am opposed to is the HANS device becoming mandatory
    they are expensive and we have survived for 50 years without them cars are way way safer now then ever before between rollcage shape and materials
    Fire systems seat belts race suits helmets
    space frame design/construction
    carbon fibre chassis etc
    let it be your choice not mandatory
    the most dangerous part of motor racing is driving to n from the meeting or telling "her in doors"
    what it REALLY costs to go racing !
