Sir Jackie Stewart Says F1 Tragedy 'Just Around The Corner': BBC F1 2011 - Round 17: Indian GP

Three-time Formula 1 world champion Sir Jackie Stewart says the deaths of Dan Wheldon and Marco Simoncelli are "a wake-up call" for motorsport and says tragedy could be "just around the corner".

Formula 1 has not suffered a fatality since those of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger at Imola in 1994, but reveals concerns about the amount of "liberties" taken by F1 drivers in the last couple of years and says the sport must not wait for another tragedy before taking further action.

@tomobrien91 F1 is dying. Look at how cars look today (for 2012 season) - they are ugliest fucking cars this sport has ever seen. In 2015 we should probably expect even ugliest cars with even less powerful engines. So, basically - toy cars with gokart engines :) Fuck...

Rules rules rules bla bla bla... Senna would be turning in his grave if he saw F1 today. Yes he wanted the sport to be safer but all these tiny little rules and penalties is ruining the sport.

It's quite sad there's no focus on Marco in this discussion. I know Indy is single seater racing and closer to F1 but I mean really ... come on. He died a matter of 7 days before this.
