(GMM) Mark Webber has issued an urgent 'hurry-up' to F1's Safety Car.
Williams' Australian driver, a director of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association, called the slow speed of the silver Mercedes 'massively concerning.'
''We lose so much (tyre) pressure in the tyres (that) it's dangerous,'' he told ITV.
A slow moving Safety Car was ultimately blamed for Ayrton Senna's fatal 1994 shunt into the flat out Tamburello barrier.
More than a decade on, Webber reckoned world champion Michael Schumacher's recent (Barcelona) tyre failures were caused by the same phenomenon.
