Hubert's Death Becomes a Momentum to Increase Safety

Scuderia Ferrari racer, Sebastian Vettel, said the death of Anthoine Hubert on the Formula 2 (F2) Belgian GP race track 2019 last week became a sign for car racing stakeholders. He hopes the tragedy triggers the initiative of the International Automobile Race Federation (FIA) to continue to improve the safety factor in all areas.
As reported, Anthoine Hubert tragically died while paving at the Spa-Franchorchamps Circuit, Belgium. The 2018 GP3 world champion died at a very young age, which is 22 years. In fact, he was paving the way to become a Formula One racer through the Renault Sport academy.

Sebastian Vettel said the tragedy should be a reminder to continue to innovate on the safety side. The German man asked the FIA ​​not to care about outside scorn who said the race was getting more and more boring because life was at stake.

"As far as I understand, there are a number of situations that ultimately led to the accident. Even though it's part of motorsport, accidents are still dangerous, and over the past few years have alarmed the death of Jules Bianchi and now Anthoine, "said Sebastian Vettel during a press conference ahead of the 2019 Italian GP GP, quoting from Crash, Friday (09/06/2019) ).

"So this shows that there are some things, even considered boring by other people because they are too safe, which should be increased. I prefer boring F1 races but Anthoine Hubert or Jules Bianchi are with us here, "added the 32-year-old racer.

In recent years, the FIA ​​has indeed introduced several new devices and better regulate safety procedures. One innovation is the use of Halo to protect the driver's head, which although not liked, proved to be quite effective in preventing fata collisions
