I seem to recall this thread whining about the coaching on the radio?. I think the radio ban is a Good Thing, but I do think they should be allowed to put whatever they want on the pitboard. It's limited what they can practically put there anyway.

I never cared about coaching. At the end of the day all the coaching in the world isn't going to make the driver any better.

"here's how to drive the car, nico" is bad and should be banned, but not at the cost of forcing teams to sit on their hands while the brakes slowly melt away

I just love that the FIA think the steering wheels are too complicated and their solution is to... ban radio communications

This is where I disagree, its either all or nothing in my book. Maybe if they didn't design a milimeter sized hole for brake cooling they wouldn't melt.

I find it really bizarre that this is still allowed since its basically a form of traction control.

I'm good with this. Figure out how to put whatever you need on the pit board. All this radio communication is just being lazy and privileged.

Make it the same as telemetry. One way radio from car to pits as much as the driver wants to (except for critical safety messages - safety car etc). All other communication from pits to car is via the pit board.

Apparently Esteban Gutierrez (or someone at Haas) is a big Warren Zevon fan:

If only NBCSN would do some intelligent audio mixing and turn down the ambient track sound when they decide to broadcast radio transmissions you might actually be able to make out what is being said.

Vettel, asked for his view on the radio regulations in light of Nico Rosberg’s penalty after the British Grand Prix Vettel described them as “complete bullshit”.

“I think all the radio issues that we had I think is a joke,” he added.

Car killing kerbs are there! Only they have been painted a dark orange/red this time and are hiding on a few corners.

New track has no grip. Seen at least 6 cars slide or spin for no reason. Not going to judge the lad when even Nando is losing the back end.
