A HISTORY OF SAFETY |

It is testament to the continual efforts of Professor Sid
Watkins MD that there has not been a serious accident in Formula One in
over ten years. Much of this is due to the research and action
on safety led by Watkins as president of the FIA Institute for Motor
Sport Safety. |
