Ridiculous that given how stringent the safety rules are for F1 cars it appears the tracks aren’t up to the same standard having a huge bump like that is just seriously dangerous.

a track is not a track without any risks

Having been standing there watching the accident happen (I am a race official) between turn 12 & 12.6, I can assure you that there is no bumps in the grass, and that the bump is actually part of a curb for a side road that comes onto the street when it is not a circuit. It has never been covered in any other AGP’s, however to appease the money man probably will now.

I have to say that due to time change (I live in Central America) the race started at 11.00 p.m. so i fell asleep before this crash. As Daniel said it ‘s a street circuit, but there is ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE for having "bumps" in the grass that cause the car to fly in the sky. Besides (No offense), there are bigger markets to explore by F1. It would be hard to see Melbourne go, but times change, and Formula 1 is a business.

it would be intresting if there was an onboard replay. It would have shown how bad it really was….

I think a lot of the problem with Glock’s accident is the drought we have been having over the last few years. The ground is dry, cracked & dusty (as you can see from the cloud of dust that billowed up behind him) once you run wide and are off the tarmac you have no hope of getting any grip.

FOM, Bernie, Speed Vision can all go take a flying leap! I’ve been a fan of F1 for decades, now you can’t find a competent commentary, video, or Telly listing for the races. Go ahead delete the aussie race Bernie, watching this circus has just become too much fuss. Why not hold it in your back yard for invited guests only!
Count me as a former fan,
