Driver aids and technology. Your thoughts

To say it more clearly, I would NOT want overtaking in F1 to become as common as in MotoGP or NASCAR. In those series overtaking is close to a ridiculously common standard. F1 would NOT become more exciting if one car passes another on a straight just because it has 10hp more...

Im not sure on the steel brakes, but probably they would not represent the technical standard of the car..

The tyre rule added to the excitement but a more ideal solution has to be found for situations like Kimi had last time...BTW a dangerous car normally would be taken out of the race?

May the great season go on, please with better Bridgestones...

Hi guys back again. Been feeding my sphinx.

With all these opinions what can I say. Are driver aids a way for teams to make a fast car despite the driver? Or are they making up for poor design?

Personally I like the evolution of the sport. I like to see teams trying something new, even if like the Williams double nose, it doesn't pay off.

Eh, whats that young man, speak up, feeding your sphincter you say

I think there are some drivers on the grid, who would not be there but for the driver aids. 1 or 2 can't chew gum and walk at the same time.

I don't think they can change anything unless you are ...... no never mind

Actually if we have a dry - wet - dry race then watch the chaos in the pit lane trying to find the right tyres back
