Danger is fine. Huge speed differentials between cars at 180-200mph and others at a walking pace, hidden around a flat out corner isn’t. Things go wrong. Ask Billy Monger.
They definitely earn their pocket money on this track, but I agree, the qualifying session was somewhat ridiculous at times. However, no car to car contact really.
I't was certainly an interesting track to watch qualifying on and as a spectator exciting to watch, however very high speed corners, no sight lines, no run off, racing at night and the chance of cars coming back onto the racing line after a crash makes it a risky track. I'm not with you on the bring on the danger i'm afraid, not on closed circuit racing, where the risk should be manged as much as possible there's a point where racing goes from exciting to wince inducing.
It's horrible to witness a crash and victory when a driver/rider walks away. I'm sure it'll be a great race and will be packed with incidents, lets hope they are all relatively minor and well managed.
Imo, It's not for me (or any of us really) to decide on whether it's too dangerous or not. If you don't want to watch a crash, don't watch a sport where it's entirely possible. My GF dosent watch horror films as she dosen't like to be frightened, same logic. Until there is a point where all drivers stand up and state the risk is unacceptable, then the risk is fine.
I think the biggest let down of this track is the lack of overtaking opportunities, it really needs to be a huge factor in modern track design given the size of the cars these days. I don't think there is a fan or driver who wants more Monaco's to emerge.
