I am really excited about that, actually.WhiteBlue wrote:If there is one single bit of regulation that has been actively pushed by the FIA and can be claimed as their brain child it is the 2014 turbo engine with the fuel flow limit.
By the TIRES? REALLY? I guess the internet will whine about anything. Were turbos also "artificial"? They make the car artificially faster!wesley123 wrote:I'd rather have no action at all than this artificial action created by the tires and DRS.

No, the real artificiality is courtesy of ever-changing regulations and the constant banning of any sort of real progress.
+1 a race should be raw racing all the way to the end, not backing off to save tyres or fuel!!!wesley123 wrote:I'd rather have no action at all than this artificial action created by the tires and DRS.
Yeah by the tires. Dont you understand it? They banned refueling to reduce the 'overtaking done with pitstops', then next year they introduce the pirellis which must be the most stupid tires ever made.thearmofbarlow wrote:By the TIRES?

http://www.forumula1.com/2012/f1/f1-new ... -for-2015/In an attempt to make F1 greener, a new proposed mandate from 2015 will see Formula One teams given a limited amount of fuel to last the season, with the fuel allowance decreasing by 15 percent each following year.
In recent years, the sport has attempted to create a greener vision with ideas such as the Kinetic Energy Reduction System (KERS) – to make F1 more environmentally friendly, road relevant whilst continuing to foster innovation – and a move to V6 engines.
The new proposed directive will see teams given a set amount of fuel at the start of the season. Friday practice will be exempt from the fuel saving mandate; All qualifying and race laps must be run using fuel from the teams’ fuel allowance.
It is understood that the fuel allowance is per team, not per driver, therefore tactics may have a huge part to play towards the end of each season with some drivers potentially sitting out some races to help their team-mates title chances.
After the 2015 season, each following season will see the teams’ fuel allowance reducing by 15 percent. This means that Formula One teams will be forced to either make their cars more fuel efficient or find alternative ways to power their cars. Experts have suggested that some alternative sources of energy may include a mini nuclear reactor, gas turbine, pedal power, or wind power.
Why dont you compare these tires to the bridgestones for once? They banned refueling as races were won too much in the pits, thus reducing tactics. Then, a year later the Pirelli's are introduced, to increase the tactics, dont you think that is kinda contradicting to each other?thearmofbarlow wrote:So we want to go back to banning tire changes? No tire changes, no refueling. Fine. Now you've created a pack of pansies too afraid to step on the right-side pedal lest their tires wear too fast or their fuel be spent too soon.
In the Old Days the friggin' mechanic rode along with the driver. How about we just go back to that? Is that less "artificial"?
