Carlos Sainz believes Formula 1 lacks a fear factor and has called for the return of gravel and grass run-offs.
Despite acknowledging safety must always be F1's primary concern, McLaren driver Sainz lamented the swathes of asphalt run-off that have replaced gravel and grass equivalents over the past two decades.
“The feeling of risk and risk-reward is not good enough in these modern circuits," said the McLaren driver.
"Even though safety is primary, I still think there is a compromise to be found with tarmac run-off areas."
Good on you Carlos, think this (track limits) might be one of the few things we all agree on.
