Safety at Monaco

[HustleRussell]

Watching the F1 qualifying and now the GP2 race, I'm struck by how precarious it looks for all concerned when there's a car dangling from a crane with racing continuing under waved yellows.

We saw an F1 historic masters car dropped from ~10 feet recently, thankfully with no marshalls or other cars underneath at the time.

Are we really still doing this? Is this another example where someone is going to have to die before this practice is discontinued?

I sound extreme, I know- I was reading up on Gary Hartstein / Bianci yesterday. Today I am watching the virtual safety car neutralising the GP2 race as a direct result of Bianci.
