The FIA is so, and plant, reportedly, have this season – from Spa-Franchorchamps – a number of new rules. The core: drivers need more racing.

A technical measure on the list has to do with the Bite Point, the point at which the clutch of the car is optimally engaged. Apparently there is a device in the cars of the sensitivity of that bite point can be adjusted. The FIA now wants to ban drivers during the warm-up lap that bitepoint going to adjust.

Also, the regulator is of the opinion that the way in which riders by their team over the radio to the hand be taken too much is blown. And indeed: a strap to wear something onregematiger than the others: ‘radio message’, engine could be better a little less touring, make: ‘radio message’. This ge-micromanage is many drivers in addition, a thorn in the eye, as witnessed by frequent requests to be a little less info to enter during the race.

From Spa wants the FIA no teamorders over the radio (such as with Bottas and Massa in Silverstone). There is also probably a ban on their pit stops as the Mercedes in Silverstone. The intention of the new rules is clear – less control from beginning to end, making the races may have a more spontaneous character and the quality of the driver more decisive.

Go back to a time where racing drivers are all self had to do is not realistic, but as it is it is the car from the wall, controlled by the driver itself it seems. What concerns me is the ball so it is indeed more in the pilot laid. (via Motorsport)
