In the last few days the FIA have taken action to increase safety in the pit lane after the events at the Nurburgring that saw a cameraman hospitalised. There is now a ban on anybody who is not team personnel from entering the pitlane during live sessions.

"Access for approved media will be confined to the pit wall."

Will this have much effect on the way news is reported from the pit lane in future? Pit lane reporters like Tom Clarkson and Gary Anderson who make their way around the garages and pit lane looking for information are likely to be restricted. Lee McKenzie interviews drivers as they return to the pit lane after incidents too. Will these people still be able to bring the viewer interesting snippets or will commentators be left guessing more often than not and filling the time?

Many in Formula One feel the pit lane speed limit should be reduced and tighter controls over where cameramen should stand etc. Reasonable measures, but the FIA have chosen a blanket ban at this stage that many journalists are unhappy with. What are peoples thoughts here?
