Burti doesn't blame Irv, says Barrichello.

Rubens Barrichello has revealed that his fellow countryman Luciano Burti does not blame Eddie Irvine for his high speed crash during the Belgium Grand Prix.

Barrichello told Ferrari World: "Before the restart, I was told that Luciano was angry when they finally got to him in the car, which was very good news as far as I was concerned. He was unconscious for a minute, but once he came back, he was saying he wanted to get back in the race. He had no idea of what had just happened to him."

"Luciano told me he only remembers up to a few seconds before the incident and at the time he was simply angry he had another big crash like in Hockenheim. He thinks Irvine was not at fault. Luciano seems fine and I even gave him a little test, by asking him what time he had set in the warm-up and he remembered. I stayed with him until two in the morning and went back at eight on Monday morning and then left when his parents arrived."

The Brazilian added: "The accident certainly showed how safety has improved in F1. The only thing that surprised me was the reaction of the marshals. It's fair to say that (Eddie) Irvine did a lot of the organisation work to clear the tyres. It was a horrible accident and I feared the worse. The tyres did a good job, but the only question is whether it is better in an impact like this, to have a sudden stop from the tyres or if it would have been better to hit a different sort of barrier and spin before stopping."

"In our sport it is impossible to say we are one hundred percent safe and in the kind of accident Luciano had, caused by something coming off the car, you are just a passenger in the cockpit. But, we have to say safety is much improved and he is alive today because of that."
