Yes it...Hi Samuel - thanks for getting in touch. Yes it's not a good look that four times in two rounds (including that Kimi was released without a wheel attached in Bahrain practice). I wonder about these automated green light systems, given the issue every time has been that the car is released before the work is done where there's been a delay/sticking wheel. Maybe a solution is to bring back the lollipop man at the front, so you have a human who can see everything that's going on before releasing the car? Yes Liberty's plans sounded good but didn't have all that much detail, though apparently the teams have been given a bit more detail than we know in public. I like the idea of a budget cap too but I'm not at all sure how it can be worked in practice.Graham Keillohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11514708469215327323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682262344930040012.post-20755675745697023042018-04-09T14:14:01.202+01:002018-04-09T14:14:01.202+01:00A good enjoyable race. A first, no advertisements ...A good enjoyable race. A first, no advertisements on ESPN. UDEP has come close to that. I use to watch the world feed before scrambling. Nice. Watched a F2 race last night and they only have 1 man per wheel. Looks like a better technique than IndyCar of bringing the new tire by reaching through the legs with 2 hands. Fast. Ms. Williams did you see that? You say the new rules will save Williams, do something now and cut personnel. I suggested to FIA a long time ago that they have engines that were a quick rebuild. Like using standard over the counter cylinder sleeves. I hope that is what FOM is talking about. The rest of their plan sounds good.I hope the hybrid part is just a generator motor and battery. Just read that Li-ion can be recharged a lot quicker than now. I hope they try compressed air or fly wheel. More efficient. Although capacitors might work. I do not see how mistakes like Ferrari pit release can happen. I hope that gambling is not involved and that kick backs are not involved in the large difference from different teams in personal. What happened in soccer comes to mind.<br /> Samuel L. Roman Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
