That would be interesting when they exceed 300km/h - both the KERS would disengage and the high-downforce wing would kick in. It'd be like hitting the brakesShaddock wrote:The teams could link the KERS button to the movable aero. Push the button you get a kick of KERS and low DF aero. If you run out of KERs, push the same button and get aero only. Either put a micoswitch on the brake pedal, or a button on the wheel to go to high DF settings with the wings in preperation to brake.
KERS might disengage but unless the driver presses the button they would stay in low DF mode.Scotracer wrote:That would be interesting when they exceed 300km/h - both the KERS would disengage and the high-downforce wing would kick in.

They should make it automatic - the drivers already say the front wing adjustment is too much to think about (and I fully appreciate that as they are getting battered by 5G). They could link it to steering angle and/or brake pedal travel.
That's what I'd want. Steering to the left would increase angle on the left sides, and vice-versa on the right, while braking would gradually increase wing angle everywhere? Perhaps even lift an extra flap or something that creates pure drag?Scotracer wrote:They should make it automatic - the drivers already say the front wing adjustment is too much to think about (and I fully appreciate that as they are getting battered by 5G).

Trying hard to be optimistic, this COULD be good news. F1 needs massive, philosophical change from the top. Max and Bernie will NOT change UNTIL they can be made to feel pain. And that means losing money and power.AUTOSPORT understands that unless a deal can be hammered out between FIA president Max Mosley and the Formula One Teams' Association (FOTA) when they meet before the Monaco Grand Prix, then the five manufacturer-backed tams plus the two Red Bull outfits will not lodge their entries.
Williams, Brawn GP and Force India are therefore likely to be the only teams to enter the championship.
Totally illogical to push out the "names" that millions can identify with, so it's quite possible :xpensive wrote:Unless of course, pushing the recalcitrant manufacturers out of F1 is the general idea by the EvilTwins?
We can get great racing from "minor" teams (no insult meant to anyone) as long as the field is relatively equal, but it just will not be the same without McL, Ferrari, Renault, etc IMHO.Ferrari's board of directors will discuss the Italian squad's future in Formula 1 tomorrow, the team announced on Monday.
Amid growing tension between the teams and the FIA over the introduction of a budget cap for 2010, Ferrari said in a statement on Monday its board will analyse the current situation and its future involvement in F1.
I would support that reasoning. Neither FIA nor FOM have an interest to push manufacturers out. FOM probably a lot less than the FIA. The main issue is to denie the traditional rich teams an advantage that will push more and more competitors into bankcruptcy. That has been an objective for many years.donskar wrote:Totally illogical to push out the "names" that millions can identify with, so it's quite possible .xpensive wrote:Unless of course, pushing the recalcitrant manufacturers out of F1 is the general idea by the EvilTwins?
Thing is if MM is too sure about that too it well MAY happen.snowmansion wrote:But it will not happen i'm sure..
