F1 Folly

Cameras on racing cars! Is the risk of them flying off and endangering drivers’ lives merited by additional TV viewing thrills? The F1 “politicians” must think quickly and make a decision.

At Monza Alesi’s errant TV camera nearly ended Berger’s career and robbed the Italians of a Ferrari victory. How odd that we can build these highly technical GP cars, send men to the Moon, but cannot screw down a lightweight camera so that it remains secure, kerb-hopping or otherwise. And I had so wanted to see an Italian car win the Italian Grand Prix.
