Did anyone watch this on BBC 2 Sunday evening ? Very interesting and on iplayer if you missed it, well worth watching.

I have watched F1 for years now, but I missed this first time round. I have a mixed opinion, yes some of the tracks were dangerous, but the drivers of the day knew the risks. It's certainly a safer sport especially for the spectators. I can't also see any drivers today getting out of their cars, and rushing to help someone, not that they would need to.

The early attempts at wings were funny.
