I am a little confused. We had spa on the calender for many years without deadly shunts. But now in a span of few years, we have lost 2 young people to the track(eau rouge-raidillon complex). Those corners have not changed massively and the cars are lot safer than before. Was it the case that the corners are inherently dangerous and blind luck was the reason that we had no major accidents there or have the cars changed and made it dangerous now. Either way the corner profile has to change. As legendary as the corners are, they are not worth the cost of human life
