There are pro's and con's so perhaps it could be tried (again)?
It seems you are the ridiculous one here. Its my opinion and i will stick with it. Rather than reacting in an immature way try to respect the opinion of others without resorting to name calling.Quote:

OK, OK. Calm down a bit.
I saw a thread started and suddenly it explodes as if what Bonte suggested was akin to shooting fluffy bunny rabbits???
Can we debate it sensibly on the pro's and cons's?
Q. What have the Romans, er, I mean radios, ever done for us?
Are they necessary?
Does it just allow teams to control races a lot more accurately from the Pit Wall rather than the Driver racing his own race more?
Is there a safety issue in banning radios and if so, can it be got around?
What positives do radios bring to the sport?
I don't think radios do any harm. However they can do without all the telemetry etc. It's one of those things teams spend a fortune on just because everyone else does. Eliminate it and you get rid of a massive cost, without making much difference.
Some Telemetry might be necessary but I can see why it can be switched off during a race. Basically, when a driver gets to the Start line, the car is his to manage.
About Radios, what good do they do the sport? Why are they needed?

Yellow Flags, waved Yellow, Double waved Yellow, Red Flag, Lights on Steering Wheel take care of point one.
I said on point two that the Race Director could have direct communication with drivers for emergency or safety reasons.
Would that cover the need for radios?
