MODERATORS
This is a terrible take and I would’ve expected better from Martin Brundle. A sport can be challenging and entertaining without endangering athletes well-being to such a degree. If the choice is to either DNS/retire or push the driver beyond the limit, you’re always incentivising the worse choice.
Sure, F1 carries an inherent risk, but there’s no need to make it actively worse. Qatar is a terrible place to go racing and this weekend proved it. Everyone knows it, and the only reason there’s a grand prix there is money and sports washing.
Would you? I wouldn't. He's old and out of touch and has been for ages.
