Halo's; just when you thought it was safe
Discussion
Jean Todt has a brain fart and thinks it's a terrific idea to paint the halo of the championship leader YELLOW, like the yellow jersey in the tour de France! Just when you thought he was finally seeing a bit of sense in agreeing the engine penalties needed changing he goes a spoils it with a yellow halo, so all that b
ks about giving the teams some freedom to shape the halo to help blend it in with the car but now thinks it's a good idea to paint one yellow.
Note to Mr Todt, the majority of folk who follow F1know who's leading the championship, who's second, fifth, seventh, tenth and eighteenth, we don't need to be told by the colour of their car now, I would much rather you concentrate on making sure the next set of rules are written so that cars could follow each other closely like your new F2 cars do instead of trying to find a problem for your solution

I disagree on a few points, first is the wet tyre, it is st and has been since Pirelli came in, numerous drivers have made their feelings known about the extreme wet tyre over the seasons, the most recent was hulkenberg a day or so after monza, they just don't shift enough water he said, secondly is ride height; low ride height I don't think so; have you seen how much rake they run now, thirdly wet tyres increase ride height automatically by way of diameter size, refitting slicks for drying track lowers the ride height back to the starting point, no active needed or certainly not needed rain scenario

I think they could improve the wet tyre and also should bring back tyre competition.
The Pirelli wet leaves a lot to be desired and needs massive improvement but to be fair and as hulkenberg commented recently when do Pirelli get chance to test wet weather tyres, hardly ever. Tyre competition would drive costs up but that aside I'd be in favour, I remember the Michelin wets were the dogs bks and ran rings round the Bridgestone in full wet mode but the Bridgestone inters had the Michelin running for coverGassing Station | Formula 1 | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
