The problems of cutting corners and running wide have been creeping up on us for more than 20 years (what year was it when they put those loose tyre bundles on the chicanes at Monza?). But let's take an optimistic attitude to what happened in Austria last weekend. The FIA can no longer sweep the problem under the carpet or stick an Elastoplast on it (or whatever other cliche you might choose
). They are going to have to act decisively and I am looking forward to seeing what they do.
