Nico might have had great memories with ending up considerable part of the race last year at the gravel and crashes for his mistake, and curious to make its repetition next year. Good challenge ;)Quote:
When asked by autosport.com whether he believes the racing will be better as a result, he said: "Yeah. There'll be more mistakes, more inconsistencies. To this question I said no a few months ago, but since I tried it I will say yes now.
Here's an interesting thought. I wonder what the difference in lap times would be between with and without Trax.
There is no auto gearbox in F1 at the moment.Quote:

Distributor enable easier manual set up for difference speed, while CDI have more stable performance according to how the part was built and may require new different set of equipment if wants more speed.
My opinion on this is that most and obviously all of the good drivers in F1 have done thousands of laps without traction control in vehicles with a much poorer balance than a modern F1 and all of them have done alright, so I really don't think much will change. Probably on the wet the cars will be more difficult to drive, but then again they allways are. Probably the biggest challenge will be tyre management, but don't you think that Bridgestone will have a tyre ready for that challenge.
And as for Rosberg comments, I am one of those that finds much more exciting a fastest lap that a spin, so to see more spins over the course of a year won't really cut for me. I think we'll never see again an F1 sideways lap after lap. We don't even see that in tarmac rallying any more.

Standard ECU and Software, but calibration of fuelling and spark needs to be done by the teams as every engine and chassis act differently.Quote:

Issues worth pointing out are that F1 cars are dependant on aero and you seem to need magnifying glass to identify mistakes.
Its interesting from the outside because when a has a 'moment' the car gets loose on entry but appears to understeer back into line. But from the onboard cameras you can see the drivers having to work the wheel pretty hard.
