Logrence should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
People are saying now then that the issue is that Formula One cars can't overtake at the current speeds.

So is it a spectator's issue, or is it a safety issue?

I find it hard to imagine that carbonfibre suspension parts would fatigue so suddenly at something like 6g - and certain accidents, especially in CART, have been known to result in up to 40g for the briefest of moments. Luciano Burti's Spa crash is a case in point.

Safety-wise I still don't think F1 is dangerously fast, but from a competition perspective, perhaps they should be looking at reducing the demand on aerodynamics/tyres?
