Het statement van Jonathan Palmer, Chief Executive of MotorSport Vision
Quote:

The Williams F1 designed Formula Two cars comply with the FIA 2005 F1 safety standards including the fitment of wheel tethers to reduce the risk of wheels coming off in accidents. The F2 car also includes the latest F1 standards of driver head protection with high cockpit sides and lateral deformable structures. As with F1 however, wheel tethers cannot provide an absolute guarantee that a wheel will not come off in an accident and in a single seater race car the front of the head is inevitably exposed to the risk, however small, of being hit by another car or component.

Toch zal er een discussie losbarten over de veiligheid van deze wagens. Waarom? Het krappe bedrag waarvoor deze wagens gebouwd moesten worden zal de vraag oproepen of er geen concessies zijn gedaan aan de veiligheid. Ja, er zaten wheel-tethers op maar was de kwaliteit net even iets minder vanwege een besparing van een paar Engelse Ponden? F2/Palmer gaan een hoeveelheid lastige vragen tegenmoet.
