Leighton Irwin should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Just a small point. I do not think any poster was saying you needed F1 experience to comment on 'on track incidents'. I know I wasn't. I still feel some racing experience is required to fully understand what happens. Any form of motor racing gives you a different viewpoint.
I spectated for years (too young to do anything else) and then marshalled before I drove. (Too broke.)
It only took a couple of races before I had a very different viewpoint about on track incidents. And that was in a slow MGA.
I later raced much faster cars and raced pro but certainly not F1. My attitude towards 'incidents' changed in the 'A' era and has remained the same.
If you disagree with me and others who have raced and hold my views, fine, that is your perogative.
That is what forums are all about.
Just remember the old racing adage 'If you see a hole, stick your nose in it.' does not apply on public roads!
