Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone has suggested the sport artificially reintroduce a bit of the risk factor by building walls around corners to prevent drivers going wide.
The FIA's safety push is currently stronger than ever, with the controversial Halo device still slated for introduction in 2018 despite being abandoned for implementation next year. The Grand Prix Drivers' Association has been at the forefront of that push following the death of Jules Bianchi last year from injuries sustained at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix.
Ecclestone thinks races are now in danger of appearing too safe and has suggested a way to rectify that perception.
"I've been criticized probably by everybody because I wanted to build 40cm walls around the corners. They keep saying they mustn't go off the road, I promise they won't," Ecclestone is quoted as saying by Reuters.
"In [the old] days, and it can't happen again, people would come to a race and think somebody could get killed. Today they know they come to a race and nobody is going to get killed. Which is good."
Ecclestone also thinks F1 should add some drama after accidents to keep audiences guessing whether the driver is injured, using Fernando Alonso's violent shunt in Australia as an example.
"What Fernando had in Australia ... you wouldn't think he was going to walk away. What we ought to do immediately after that happens is have big sheets all the way around, bring the ambulance in ... and take him away. He's gone to the hospital and later on you announce that, thank God, he's out. A bit of showbiz. People like that."
