No more pit wall celebrations
As part of its package for 2006, the World Motor Sport council has revealed that pit wall celebrations will effectively be banned next season.
In a footnote to today's statement the WMSC announced that as an additional safety measure for 2006, "team personnel and spectators will be banned from climbing on the pit wall fencing during or after races."

Pitpass


WHAT?! are you serious? It's Halloween, not April Fools...

Yes it's serious.

But while the intent is to improve safety, somebody obviously forgot that they can make the fencing "stronger" and safer, rather than take people off it.

Or at least, have a small area just ahead of the pit entry for pit members to cheer the winning guy.

Another move that kills an aspect of the sporting atmosphere in F1. Too many rules for it's own good.

Sensible move.

It's really the FIA covering its back, lest someone should be killed

So why bother letting them drive F1 cars in the first place?

Being killed crashing an F1 car is an "acceptable" risk.

Being killed falling off a pitwall is pathetic.

Oh, purrlllleeeease... How many people have fallen off the pitwall and died so far?? Maybe they should install a pelican crossing to stop the cars coming down pitlane when someone wants to cross from garage to the prat perch and vice versa...

I really can't see much of a risk here - teams have been doing thsi for years, it's happened at virtually every racetrack currently used, and has never caused any problems. In any case, how much woudlr einforcing the fences cost? F1 desperately needs to convey personality, and that often comes from spontaneous celebration. How do you think people would react to Helio Castroneves' fence-climbing victory routine, ro some of Rossi's victory celebrations?

I hear Max is taking control of the England and Wales Cricket Board when he finally retires from the FIA and is going to introduce sponge balls just in case anybody gets hurt

Ludicrous. How many years has this been going on in all classes of motorsport at all the tracks in the world? Why decide something like this now?

The world is going absolutely bonkers. What next? Having to clearly label which end the front of the car is to deny any liability should someone inadvertantly be run over in the pitlane?

Agreed, this just goes to show that the people who make the rules just want to squeeze the life and personality out of the sport.
Track invasion anyone? Oh wait, thats banned too.

Don't tell the FIA, but there are people who jump off of the banks and run onto the track during the race....or am I missing something.

Maybe they should ban hugging and back slapping too, it's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt. I fear for Flavio when he hugs Alonso while he's still got his crash helmet on! I wonder if anyone ever had a finger crushed shaking hands? Whatever, stop that as well!!

A serious side to this is that the people who are making these ridiculous rules, and I don't stop at Motorsport here, were, in the main, themselves brought up in a time when the rules didn't exist (And, as they say, it never did them any harm!).

When the younger generations, who know nothing else, start making the rules, where will we be? Maybe racing itself will be banned?

What a complete and utter nonsense.

I'd like to see the WSC/FIA enforce that.

Don't make the mistake that this was posted by a person. I think more of a Human Resource Focus Group.

Come on, I agree it was not safe when for example in the 60s a driver won and the front straight was crowded with all sorts of people, but people hanging from a fence?

A fence that is supposed to prevent possible debris from crashing cars can't hold a few guys?

Next thing will be lowering the podiums to ground level in case someone gets injured when the drivers give the champagne bottle to their mechanics...
