Same way being 'woke' demeans F1 fans? PS: my brother's a NASCAR fan, and I diss him all the timeNot sure how complaining about present day F1 turned into demeaning NASCAR fans???
Blame or thank Jackie Stewart? The man is a hero in my book. Amazon tv has a documentary movie called Grand Prix the Killer years that really shows how bad safety and medical aid were back then. The story of Roger Williamson burning alive on the track is unbelievable and the footage is just horrific. But the part about Jackie sitting in a cockpit filled with race gas and unable to get out is something else.I suppose you could blame everything on Jackie Stewart, for wanting to make F1 a safe enough sport that one driver per week didn’t die. I loved watching those late 60’s, suicide machines. Maybe Senna was the final wake-up call: yeah, it was great, exciting, unbridled racing, but killing our top stars isn’t good for business. I used to like when NHL players wore no helmets.
I got used to them living longer instead...
