Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel says he would rather Formula 1 be boring if it could attract back the driver killed last weekend, Anthoine Hubert.
22, hubert, died after suffering a 170mph effect from American Juan Manuel Correa at Spa’s car on Saturday.
World champion Vettel, part of their Grand Prix Drivers’ Association, states safety has to be improved.
“I still think there is things we could do improve and better,” he explained.
Last weekend’s fatal crash is being investigated by the FIA, whereas the car belonging to Giuliano Alesi, the driver who Hubert prevented before crashing into the obstacles, has been impounded by police.
After suffering from a spinal injury and broken legs throughout the support race correa has been transferred.
The conversation over security in motorsport comes just five races later F1 was labelled as”boring” following an uneventful French Grand Prix in June.
“Many people today believe Formula 1 is too safe and too boring,” Vettel included in a news conference earlier the weekend’s Italian Grand Prix.
“But I would rather have boring Formula 1 championships forever and deliver Anthoine backagain.
“To some extent it [danger] is a part of motor racing – it’s part of the excitement – but obviously the past couple of years have been a wake-up with the departure of Jules [Bianchi] and now Anthoine.
“What happened could not be worse. I believe it will be analyzed and what everyone would expect but we need to get a complete image of a whole lot of components also to draw any conclusions is not appropriate.
“I’m a fan of carrying races in Spa because it’s a excellent track which has a terrific history and a lot of the corners are somewhat exceptional, but for certain after what happened we have to get a very close look and just take some time to understand exactly what occurred.”
Roland Ratzenberger and ayrton Senna will be the very last drivers to die during an F1 race weekend at Imola in 1994. When Jules Bianchi died nine months after suffering severe head injuries in a crash at the 2014 Western Grand 30, there was not another driver fatality in F1 until 2015.
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc committed his triumph from Spa for his former friend and rival Hubert, and stated that while he was conscious of the risks involved with racing,”it’s always a shock when something like this occurs”.
Leclerc additional:”Anytime you proceed at that speed it will remain dangerous. On the flip side, each time I am entering the car I am going in with the mindset, and I think we are all trying to do that even.
“When you are receiving in your car you’re attempting to maintain the zone, trying to think about what you have to do and you want to race as hard as you can to finish as large as possible.”
The use of asphalt run-off regions has also been questioned following Hubert’s crash, even with some claiming that traps would restrict the dangers drivers are prepared to shoot and prevent a car from bouncing back following an accident.
“Some of it’s correct, the Tarmac run-off areas do encourage people to keep pushing since it does not have an immediate consequence,” said Renault’s Nico Hulkenberg.
“There always needs to be the ideal balance somewhere, and perhaps we should have some customised options for corners such as Eau Rouge at the manner that we don’t see that corner until you think of the hill.”
