Forums Forums National News Massa to have surgery after crash

Watched this yesterday. Ross Brawn himself said that the spring came off and hurtled down the track towards Massa, so im not sure if people were expecting a race marshall to do a superman act or something, but there was a matter of seconds between the part coming off the car, and hitting Massa, so blaming the marshalls is simply unfair and untrue.

I hate the way people always look for someone to blame and some conspiracy theory in these cases. Even is a marshall did miss it, mistakes happen. If they made an incorrect judement, with only a few seconds to do so, again, mistakes happen. Of course, there are some people in this world who never make a mistake... At the end of qualifying yesterday, nobody knew who was in pole position, thanks to a screw-up by F1, all the drivers were asking each other - F1 obviously made a mistake somewhere along the line, that should'nt happen, but it does. I also love the way people always think they know better than the F1 authorities and teams themselves, just because they watch the races from their armchair (in fact some don't even watch the race and merely comment on what they believe to be happening). BBC 606 is full of this crap.

F1 is a highly dangerous sport, just like any motor racing, accidents will continue to happen from time to time, and it will be the freak accidents that will happen more often, because the safety laws are so strong in F1. Anything that can be predicted has been addressed.

I think Jaci's point is very correct, if people want to look to blame someone, then lets blame everyone involved, including Massa and even the spring itself. Personally, I will just wait for the results of the investigation and in the meantime hope that Massa makes a full recovery.

Heard about this whilst still in Spa at the weekend. Not nice

Am I the only person who doesnt like that picture? Seems like if ever anyone is badly injured.. life threatening injuries etc, we have to get pictures as soon as possible.

Request it is removed pleased?

if we moved everythink that peeps dont like we would have nothink left on the forums.

A lot of the stuff shown on the site shouldnt really be shown in the first place tbh....especially if it concerns local families and friends of families.

If I was involved in a horrific accident, and was badly injured, the last thing Id want would be to have my face pasted everywhere.... not only because Id like to keep some dignity, but its also not the nicest thing for people to see.

Compromise?

I see your ponit bud but at the end of the day if its in the news we can post it,were not breaking any laws.
yes Family & friends may get a bit up set seeing the news of there loved one up on a local site but in other cases we have helped family get things of there chest and helped in other ways as you know.

The pic i posted was on the FRONT page of most Sunday tabloids. Now pick up you dummy.

Some on here may know that I've moaned about things being posted on here a few times.
As Phil says it was on most front pages the next day and whilst not pleasant, it's nothing that the tabloids aren't showing. Unfortunately, it a sign of the horrible times we live in.

What Craig is saying is a whole different matter. There were a few occasions earlier in the year where the line was over stepped but IMO the balance is about right just now.

Sorry, I know this is off topic!

Looking good...
