What if FIA tighten the safety regulation further in the 90s, especially 1994 ?

stray minnow Aug 14, 2022, 6:41 PM

#

But… weren’t they already tight enough? Throughout the 90’s, stuff like reduced engine capacity, pit limiters, decreased downforce levels, and track modifications all promoted a good level of safety.

burnt holly Aug 15, 2022, 10:12 AM

#

Yes its already good, but what i really meant was much further safer & tighter than it was in the 90s , like much tighter crash test regulation, safer and a bit thicker barrier (especially in high speed corner or street circuit), mandating the HANS device earlier, introducing the skid plank earlier, increasing the minimum weight by 5 - 10 kgs, mandating a minimum ride height, etc.

If Piquet was able to score a couple of podiums in the 1988 Lotus, then maybe Senna could achieve more than what Piquet achieved
