The only people not thinking are the ones who claim Formula 1 is made exciting by possibility of death.
I haven't said that, what I have said is if you remove the risks then you are removing the exciting parts (speed, wheel to wheel racing? Etc) you can not have those things without risk.
Yes, there will always be the chance of death, its something we can only reduce as much as possible, but accidents always happen.
However, the statement that racing wouldn't be racing without the chance of death is just garbage designed to ignite argument. You are confusing F1 with Gladiator battles. The idea of F1 is to win, not to kill everybody. Death has absolutely no purpose in racing.

haha, nico just a quick.....blank.....from you
no that's Sunama.
Again please tell me how you can have racing with no chance of death?
Go on explain it, you contradict yourself, you agree with me with your first line, then take it all back on your last line.
Oh and what did I say
Oh wow exactly what you said

The risk of a crash, yeah, there always needs to be that.
The risk of death? No thanks.

Nah he's said he's not doing all of them this season, apparently it's a bit of a trek to the commentary box here.No Brundle pit walk
Guess when he was the co commentator he didn't have as much preparation to do to start the commentary that he does now.
That's what sunama said though and what we are discussing.
Go back and re read his post - he wants to see huge accidents as the result of pushing too hard and a real possibility of death.
Sorry but that's just a horrendously outdated viewpoint, F1 doesn't need possible death as a consequence of pushing too hard to be exciting.
You cant. But I dont want or need it to make the sport exciting. The chance of death is an unfortunate yet unavoidable (yet limitable) consequence of going racing, it is not a requirement to make the sport exciting.
Ditto. EJ grid walk *cringes*Ladies! Theres a race on, come on
EJ and Jake doing the grid walk is pants.
Again please explain how that works. You have a crash there will always be a risk. Even ignoring crashes, you have things like Massas accident.
