I agree Knocky, the actual need is very minimal. They do allow weather status, times, etc that are beneficial to the drivers as well as the team, but really other than take away some of the guesswork the only thing they add is more team involvement.
But there is one valid point nobody else has touched on. When the team issues orders, how else to we get to hear all the great snippets of drivers whining like children? Most pit boards won't hold that much info!

I'd be OK missing the whineing about why team mates should jump off the track to let them pass (OK, I would miss Kimi's comments laugh: ) if we can see Drivers controlling their race more and force them to manage their own equipment.
Teams will have to quess more about when to pit on tyres and drivers would have to balance their aggression against fuel and tyre wear. Teams might even start fuelling cars to finish races

This is silly. Why stop at formula 1? Let's ban basketball coaches from being anywhere near the court. Let's ban the boxing coaches during the matches and so on. Fooball coaches, etc. The team radio is exremely important for mapping the tire and overall race strategy. It's stupid to propose the team radio is banned because once a year, actually even less often than that on average, one out of 24 drivers receives a controversial order in just one out of year's 20 races. Stop fooling yourself. F1 is a team sport in and out. If you want a pretension of a driver oriented sport, let's ban custom chassis. Let everyone race a spec chassis and engine, a sort of GP2 on drugs, and _then_ you could argue that we need to have the radio go to make everything mostly depend on the driver.

I think this means let you team mate through:

I have it on good authority that Team Red Bull have developed a breakthrough Mental Telepathy system which will be used from the next race onwards. It is called "Middle Finger Salute", which was tested successfully when Vettel passed Webber in Malaysia.
When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout
