We may even see these in the 2017 season.Its big news!!! PietSw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PietSw Posted March 4, 2016 Share I see his feedback is that visibilty is virtually unaffected. We may even see these in the 2017 season.Its big news!!! Most drivers have no problem with it. Seb says forget that it looks ugly, it will save lives.. But guess what Lewis Hamilton (that name is a swear word in my house btw) says its ugly and F1 lacks direction.. Well excuse me FIGJAM but ask Henry Surtees, Justin Wilson and Jules Bianchi's family if they would have cared what it looked like.. #Annoyed Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Long Wheel Base 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PietSw Posted March 4, 2016 Share #Berniemustfall DRS is bad enough, now they want to mix up the starting orderhttp://www.wheels24.co.za/FormulaOne/f1-considers-reversing-the-grid-for-better-races-20160223 I have an idea.. Just draw names out of a hat.. that would make it interesting Bernie !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PietSw Posted March 7, 2016 Share Nothing would have saved JB, his car lifted a crane for pete's sake. That maybe true.. but it would have definitely saved the other 2 drivers.. JB's crash was a race management problem.. should not have continued with the race until it was clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted March 7, 2016 Share What I do wish is that there was more freedom for the other guys to develop their engines to catch up... there I agree F1 is shooting itself in the foot. No more "tokens" from 2017 onward so the manufacturers can blow through cash develop at their heart's content.

Iwan Kemp Posted March 15, 2016 Share Great to read about a further clamp down on radio. They need to go one step further and, as per Button's suggestion, ban all tire sensors other than pressure. Get the drivers to make a call based on "feel" again. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
