Yes, very true. Quite why apparantly the F2 cars didn't appear to have them is a complete mystery, since they're built to 2005 F1 safety regulations.

The only problem with tethers is they're no good if the wheel is not properly attached to the car. It would have been no good in Alonso's case for a tether there, as it's a part of the suspension. Same with Alboreto in Imola 1994.

EDIT: Blimey, when did I hit 1000 posts?!
