Why wouldn't it make sense to have pit-lane camera operators in fire-proofs and helmets like the pit crews? Shouldn't a standard apply to anyone in pit lane?
The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

Will the nature of pit reporting change? No. Reporters don't necessarily need to be stepping out into the middle of pit lane for their investigations.
I know they have a job to do but I get the impression cameramen take their roles for granted a bit because you do seem to see them standing gormless in pit road.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080

Although it is a kneejerk reaction, I think FIA is doing something right for a change. There are too many people in the pitlane to begin with. We don't need cameramen standing right next to the pit crew. Do I need to see the pimples on the driver's face while he's getting new socks? No. While we're at it, the number of pitcrew members should be reduced. Most other forms of motorsport have a strict limit of how many people can work on the car. Pitstop get longer by a second or two, but the risk of error is reduced.
Also, why do there need to be 5 or 6 people on the pitwall? All it takes are someone to supervise everything and one to hold out the pitboards. Everyone else could to his job just as well from the garage. The less people you have loitering about the pitlane, the less chance of an accident should something go wrong.как могу я знать что я думаю, пока не слушал что я говорю
