the japanese grand prix at fuji speedway showed exactly why street circuits are dumb....
when david coulthard slammed into the tire wall on lap 1, he travelled quite a distance on the run off area before the rubber absorbed the impact.....
now if this was a street circuit where there are only concrete walls, the stewards would have to deploy the safety car.... no choice cos the stricken car has nowhere to go.....
however, in fuji speedway DC's car was off the track anyway, so racing could go on........ no safety car no interruption......
so thumb down to street circuits....
