Barrichello fears for Monaco safety

Rubens Barrichello has raised concern about safety at this month's Monaco Grand Prix now that drivers can use a moveable rear wing to help with overtaking.
"I just think it is wrong," the most experienced driver in Formula One history who also chairs the Grand Prix Drivers Association told the autosport.com website.
"I would love the people at the top to sit in the car and try to do the tunnel with the DRS (Drag Reduction System or moveable rear wing) open," the Williams driver said.
"In my opinion, they are waiting for something bad to happen.
"And when it happens, they will just say, 'Oh, next year we will not have it for Monaco.' "The drivers have not been listened to right now and I think it is the wrong decision."
Monaco, with its tight and twisty circuit around the Mediterranean principality is a glamorous but unforgiving race where overtaking is extremely difficult and cars skim the steel barriers.
Some teams had wanted the DRS system banned for Monaco but others opposed that because it would mean designing expensive alternative Monaco-only wings.
