I think there is some truth in saying that improvements in roll cages etc have made race cars far safer than they were years ago so many drivers seem quite happy to barge others out of the way knowing full well that the risk of serious injury is comparatively small. When this behaviour is tolerated at national and international level the same driving standards inevitably filter down into club racing where, unfortunately, some competitors land up bearing the cost of damage caused by others overly aggressive driving.
 Sure, everyone wants to win but "win at all costs" is not acceptable and can cause serious injury to other participants and officials and costs fellow competitors money to pay for damage.

 While I think the above applies to much of the motorsport that I watched over the weekend it did seem to me that a majority of the visits to the gravel traps at Silverstone were caused by simple driver error rather than entanglements caused by overly aggressive driving. Maybe the fact that many drivers were in unfamiliar cars and had a long lay off during covid restrictions played a part. 

 You haven't mentioned the terrible death of a marshall at a British club racing event on Saturday who was hit by a car which had become airborne following a collision with another competitor. My condolences to his family and a massive thank you to all the race marshalls who carried on working over the weekend in what must have been very difficult circumstances.
