The more I think about the less I like the idea of a controlled movable rear wing, I think the current idea of letting a driver only use it if he's a second behind the lead car is ridiculous, it's also going to complicate things immensely when there's a train of 3 or 4 cars going.

There's confusion between passing and actual racing and to enable the person in the rear to pass simply because they can improve or decrease their down-force and putting the person in front at a disadvantage it pointless. It's nor racing at all.

On the other hand, it would be an option to overcome the dirty air that is purposefully generated by the leading car (which puts the car behind at a disadvantage).

That's the big thing I don't like about it; it's artificial manufactured overtaking! Instead of coming up with stupid moveable parts; take a step back into the past, making cars lower and wider amplifying the slipstream effect to aid overtaking. The FIA are overcomplicating something that should be so simple!

Jenson made a better move on the backmarker than Alonso which allowed him to make the move for second place!

He's right you know,Fernando failed to seize the opportunity therefore he lost a place,back-markers have always been a part of racing.... Jenson used the traffic to his advantage... & well thats racing............

If Ferrari & their 60 years worth of F1 racing cant figure out how to navagate an obsticle like HRT(and their 8 races) then thats too bad.

:yes: Using backmarkers is part of the racecraft.

Like Ground Effects? Oh yeah that wouldn't involve 65 million dollars of additional design testing and parts so they would never implement it.

:director: Peace, alright? 8-):whip:

Wow I wish you would have stuck up for me like that when I was a mod :banghead: . Hows this "Your always right RC and I'm sorry for having a different opinion than you, I should have learned to check with the mod team first before I disagreed with you."

Peace between her and I is something that will never be found.

PS,
You can always ban me yet that will just prove my point of the bias I and others recieve.

Not really clear no. You keep repeating this "hollier than thou" thing :shrug: Im not hollier than anyone, Im not religious. And lewis is a male...you struggle with this dont you.

Would of preferred two tyre manufactures with a budget cap.
Movable body work this could be interesting i'm afraid that teams may abuse this rule with individual devices that could be activated to create extra turbulence when a car is behind them to prevent overtaking.


That shouldn't be a problem:

It will only be enabled if the driver is less than one second behind another at any of the pre-determined positions around each circuit. The system will be disabled the first time the driver uses the brakes after the system has been activated.
