i don't see how it's going to affect the gp either. the "facilities" are already pretty shoddy by f1 standards yet they keep going there. this happens every year - will buxton on twitter has said some sauber mechanics were successfully mugged at the same spot, and some fom guys were robbed earlier in the week. di grassi also said on radio 5 he'd been mugged recently too as well. c'est la vie.
Strange thing to say to ask someone to have compassion. It wasn't like he made a particularly controversial statement. How about having compassion for the people who are equally poor but don't resort to that?

Sao Paolo is notoriously dangerous. Apparently Mexico City and Caracas are even worse.
