Bernie Ecclestone has suggested Formula 1 should build walls on racetrack corners to make the sport more dangerous. The F1 supremo has accepted his remarks are unlikely to be well received following the sports prolonged pursuit of increased safety.Ive been criticised probably by everybody because I wanted to build 40cm walls around the corners, said Ecclestone. In those [the old] days, and it cant happen again, people would come to a race and think somebody could get killed. Today they know they come to a race and nobody is going to get killed. Which is good. Natalie Pinkham is joined by former BAR and Benetton Team Principal David Richards and Sky F1s Marc Priestley to review the US Grand Prix. Speaking at the US GP, where the disregard shown by the field for the designated track limits was routinely criticised, Ecclestone added: They keep saying they mustnt go off the road, I promise they wont.After over 20 years, dating back to Ayrton Sennas death at the 1994 San Marino GP, without a fatality caused by F1 racing, Jules Bianchi passed away last year as a result of injuries sustained during the 2014 Japanese GP.But Ecclestone has cited Fernando Alonsos escape from his dramatic crash at the season-opening Australian GP as another reason to consider change.What Fernando had in Australia ... you wouldnt think he was going to walk away, said Ecclestone. McLarens Fernando Alonso and Haas Esteban Gutierrez collide in the Australian Grand Prix leading to the Spaniard being sent airborne What we ought to do immediately that happens is have big sheets all the way around, bring the ambulance in ... and take him away. Hes gone to the hospital and later on you announce that, thank God, hes out. A bit of showbiz. People like that. Dont miss the Mexican GP on Sunday evening.

Ninth-seeded PV Sindhu produced a performance of skill, maturity and composure in beating the World No.2 and 2012 silver-medallist Wang Yihan of China 22-20, 21-19 in a pulsating quarterfinal in Rio on Tuesday. Sindhu is now one win away from a medal in her maiden Olympics appearance.The first game was characterised by long rallies, with both players making the other move all around the court, but Yihan had sped away to a 3-0 lead before Sindhu could lodge her first point.Sindhu, though, never let her opponent out of sight, leveling the score at 5-5, and then coming back from 8-12 at one stage to draw level at 13-13. Faced with a 15-17 deficit soon after having taken the lead for the first time at 15-14, she produced two smashes low to either side of Yihan to level the score at 17-17, before bringing up her first game points at 20-18.Yihan was able to save two of them -- the second producing 46 shots in 45 seconds between the two -- but then Sindhu closed out the first game 22-20 in 29 minutes.She showed very good attitude and it is good to see her perform at this stage. Of course there are chances of improvement in terms of a couple of areas, but I think undeniably the way she fought and pulled the strategy through was very good Sindhus coach Pullela Gopichand said.?Sindhu started the second game in an aggressive manner, smashing straight towards Yihans body. Up 4-2, she produced the point of the match when she retrieved the shuttle bending low to her forehand and then recovering in time to produce a firm backhand return that Yihan could only sink into the net.Sindhu consistently kept a gap between herself and Yihan -- up to five points at one stage -- and was exceptional with her play around the net in particular. Yihan tried to counter Sindhus positivity with some aggression of her own, but was never able to bridge the gap between herself and the 21-year-old Indian to anything less than two points.Sindhu was in sight of wrapping the game up at 18-13 before a forehand flick of hers went well wide, and Yihan took full toll to pick up the next ffour points to draw level for the first time in 34 points.dddddddddddd Taking the lead for the first time at 19-18, Yihan was surprised with Sindhus swift return of her serve, which enforced an error out of the Chinese. Sindhu closed out the match with two assured points to take the second game 21-19 in 24 minutes.Sindhu had a good lead in the second but Wang Yihan did well to cover that up but in the end and I think Sindhu stayed calmer and she was resilient enough to finish it up. To feel confident about her defence and then do it at the big points is what made the difference. In my book she can do a notch higher but what we saw today was fantastic Gopichand said.?Yihans head-to-head going into this match against Sindhu was 4-2 in her favour, though Sindhu had defeated her 21-18, 21-19 in their last meeting, at the Denmark Open in October 2015.Yihan had defeated Saina Nehwal in the semifinals of the London Olympics four years ago, before losing to compatriot Li Xuerui in the gold medal match.Sindhu will now face Nozomi Okuhara of Japan. A win against her will open Indias Rio account - even a defeat will give Sindhu a chance to fight for the bronze - but Sindhu herself was grounded.?All I can say is that Ill give my best. I hope theres more to come, she said. It was tough today, against the World No.2. She played well in both games, especially the second to tie the scores at 18-18. I cant say that I got lucky with the win, since she also played brilliantly.?Ive played Yihan many times before, winning some, and losing some. I just try to give my best on the day, because its always a tough game.The first semifinal on Thursday will feature Carolina Marin of Spain and Xuerui, following which Sindhu will play her semifinal against World No. 6 Nozomi Okuhara from Japan at 5:50 pm IST.Indias Kidambi Srikanth is scheduled to play his mens singles quarterfinal against World No. 3 Lin Dan of China on Wednesday at 5:50 pm IST.
