Former F1 world champion, Sir Jackie Stewart, stated that he is dissapointed in Lewis Hamilton, as the young Brit has declined to join the Grans Prix Drivers' Association's attempts to make Formula one as safe as possible. Stewart believes that these attempts shoulb be backed up by every competitor, especially now that formula one got more dangerous after the driver aids removal.

"It is completely wrong of Lewis not be be involved. I am surprised and disappointed at him. He has been badly advised. So far we have been incredibly lucky. We are on the slate to have a big shunt. But what is going to happen is this - somebody is going to get killed. At the speeds modern cars do it'll be like an air crash," Stewart said.

Nico Rosberg is also concerned about the safety in the Singapore race on September 28. He said that he had no idea how different driving at night would be form driving at daylight, in the circuit. "Safety is always a concern for street races, and that plus being under the floodlights at night -- safety is a bit of a question mark still. I couldn't tell you because I've never driven at night. I've never tested. There's no tracks with lights so you can't really prepare. I'm sure the FIA has done their job and I think it'll be a great event," he said.
