Safety first?
And that’s just one consequencesince the sensation Fund goes beyond and beyond, flying high and climbing in the dark sky of the Arab city, reciting a simple and interesting conclusion: the circuit of Jeddah Attitude remains one of the most important extremes and vicious Of the whole Modern F.1. That sounds strange, very strange, when the FIA and promoters have been screaming “Safety First!” at the top of their lungs for a quarter of a century. doubt or in any crisis small hook or escape zone of creation on the most historic, classic and popular continental circuits of the World Championships, where the slightest doubt about risk seems to be recognized. Also strange, right? But let’s get to the heart of the matter, but let’s make a necessary and very personal premise.
risk drivers everywhere
As for me, it was for me that F1 could e it should work everywhere. Including the old ones Nurburgring, that is the wonderful and terrifying Nordschleife of over 22 km. The real challenge would be to build machines that are relatively safe there too, just like a GT. Again, there are no dangerous tracks for me, but paradoxically dangerous drivers. I know centaurs who have been on the run for half a century straight Isle of Man Mountain Circuit without ever falling or scratching the hull. I’ve spent a quarter of my life right there, on 40+ miles of the longest and most cursed racetrack on planet earth, and I suffer madly from the fascination of the potentially deadly challenge of the nastiest tracks, plus every other racetrack, for two, three or four wheels. . Worse. I love oval bastards, I love Indianapolis unconditionally and follow the philosophy of Indiana’s wall smash the socalled Baciamuri who simply and beautifully argue that the Wall does not exist. Run and don’t think about it. It’s not a problem, just an evasive mental projection. Period. That’s all great. So if it were up to me, ten, one hundred Thousand City Tours from Jeddah and long live Indy’s disgusting Turn 3. Because Motorsport is dangerous and if you want to play it safe, play underwater chess and hello. But that is not the point. These are my fantasies and poems and those of those who adore them.
The underlying hypocrisy
Here we are talking about something else. Namely from the relationship indecipherable that seems to run between fia, promoter and securityquite omitting how I think as an enthusiast and getting straight to the point of how I see things strong forces of F1 and motorsport. In other words, the Masters of Steam for decades and decades when he was still alone in calling the circus Berniehave led to the end of all the mythical and popular tracks that formed the heart of the World Cup cut yourself, shortened, amputeesreclaimed, dewormed, trashed if not vaporized to give life to raped simulacra and survivors of the good old days, that sort of thing new version of Hockenheim and Interlagos, just to be clear, or sort of Imola with the additional variants, namely the Ricard without signes or the spa itself increasingly botulinized by escape routes and even more radical threats of intervention.
Contaminating the rest with the average infamous Tilkat by the architect himself, who built claustrophobic convents for bearded nuns everywhere and replaced them with the most beloved cathedrals of courage. Good. A triumph. You see, a castration that has now been going on for three decades.

Security is a relative term
But then here is Jeddah. The street circuit is one of the fastest in the world, with an average of over two hundred and fifty kilometre timetables on the lap, while in the Motorrad Tourist Trophy it’s no more than two hundred and twenty, not even in the Superbike record average. Of course the TT will be driven between houses while in Jeddah it will be driven with houses nicely protected by barriers but one thing should be noted and that is that a MelbourneFor example, you drive about 1520 km/h slower, although the new layout of Albert Park seems to make it almost on par with the Arabian track. But that’s not the point either. Albert Park itself, compared to the runway from 1001 nights it looks like an airport. And not only. In the past, the citizen of Jeddah only had to walk once and then move on a new and very modern permanent route, but what is yet to come. And then the conclusion of all this certified reasoning can only be one.
Who pays is “safe”
In modern F1, safety is not an absolute value, it is subject to one a kind of twospeed gearbox, which works so well: On the historic F1 circuits almost all Europeans and the organizers, who pay little, Safety First for life. Long live security at the expense of devastation, distortion and evisceration every historical curve, he might even send Spa to this country at the slightest excuse. Where grain reigns instead, see Arab countries, new economies or in the process of stunning development, take care of security. You walk, you collect money on the nail and those who are in pain scream. with petrodollar Cash ready if they were to copy paste the Nordschleife which I like so much they would go too, maybe with the dunes and camels instead of the frosted embankments but whatever because the money sends the water upside down if this it is asked for . In other words, regardless of the outcomes, the protagonists, the winners and the losers, the very existence of the Jeddah street circuit, its fired hourly averages and its flat and cheeky barriers stem only from the local lords’ outstanding transfers. And it is on the brightly lit night of the Arabian GP that explodes respectability, hypocrisy, lack of credibility, hairy moralism and the unacceptable and mirrored white dress of today’s Formula 1, which it wears with whomever it chooses, when it suits it depending on how much you collect.
