#F1 Martin Brundle thinks Jules Bianchi's accident at the Japanese Grand Prix highlights the need to consider the way recovery vehicles are used in Formula One.
Martin Brundle: "My concern, and I've expressed it many times, is having those things [recovery vehicles] on track, I nearly lost my life against one of them and just missed it and then hit a marshal. Obviously I have grave concerns, if it's a career-ending incident he's had or more grave than that. The things are too high, and you're sitting down too low, especially on that corner because you just keep turning left, so you're going into the barriers if you go off there, there's no way of recovering, you're going too fast. Some will say 'well there's yellow flags', even double-waved yellow flags but that doesn't stop you actually spinning off because we saw Ericsson spinning off behind the safety car. I spun off with yellow flags there, there was so much spray I couldn't actually see my own steering wheel let alone the yellow flags on the day. If one car goes off in a certain position there's so much greater chance of another one going off in the same place."

verdade que não tem havido muita adesão mas corridas, mas a F1 mexe multidões e de certeza que ia haver muita gente a rumar de norte e centro para o algarve, e estrangeiros idem, uma viagem para ca certamente sera mais barata que para o Japão sem falar dos fusos horários, mudança da moeda, e sem referir que os japoneses para ajudar turistas e zero (falar inglês é quase proibido), temos um clima espetacular ao contrário que no Japão é so tufões e acontecimentos psicadélicos, falta-nos é poder finaceiro para trazer ca esta brincadeira e aí o Japão dá-nos uma tareia, mas no nosso país enquanto so continuarem a ver futebol a frente vai ser complicado :/ tirar o monaco, isso sim seria muito estupido
