Team radio ban
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/29161931
Teams are now banned from giving performance related advice over the team radio. Interesting, but how do you define performance related advice?Tazio 14/3/2015: I'll give every member on this forum 1,000.00 USD if McLaren fails to podium this season!

The teams will just find a way around it. They will display it on the steering wheel or something, or talk in code.
The best way to enforce this is to ban radio communication all together and let the FIA broadcast safety related information to all the cars. Make the teams communicate by pit board.
Listening to some of the engineers blathering on and on and on, how can you drive the car when there is a guy who's job it is to constantly distract you? Leave me alone. I know what I am doing.

Agree that it's far too open to interpretation. I mean if the team says to the driver "Code X3" they have no idea what that means.

Everyone knows what "Code X3" means !
Allowances for safety , and procedural messages make this a mine field for appeals .
Races will be won and lost after the flag falls .
I get what they are trying to do , but there has to be a better way .
Could they limit the time that each team can talk to it's drivers , rather than try to police what they say ?

A few years ago there was a proposal to ban radios entirely. But they were let back on safety grounds.

Does this include a scenario like
Driver: Where am I slower?
Engineer: I can't say but brilliant sectors 2 and 3 and corners 3 through 16I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

My boss and I are members of the local bridge club. There was one pair of old ladies who were exceptionally brilliant but no-one could ever work out why.
We played against them in a tournament and they were wittering on about their grandchildren and who they'd spoken and were telling all of these lovely stories... or so it seemed.
They'd named every single card in the pack with names like Julie for the 8 of clubs and Markus for the 5 of diamonds etc.
All of their petty inane stories, were just communicating to each other what they had in their hands.
If old ladies can do this, F1 teams surely can.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

This seems utterly ridiculous to me. I might agree or not with the change, but why would they make the change from one race to another instead of giving teams a decent notice period and making the change for the next season? I'm not one to usually criticise the FIA, but surely this is one of their finest. What a load of crap - it seems to only have been made to put teams with small steering wheel screens at a disadvantage.

But N4D13, changing the rules midseason is an F1 tradition!
Is this the year Leclerc gets to end his Monaco 'jinx'? The 26-year-old has yet to stand on his home podium in five attempts, four with Ferrari, but he can end that 'jinx' on Sunday. Published May...
