Rumors have it that MM is mulling over the introduction of stability control, which electronically corrects an unstable car in the middle of corners.
Pros? Cons?

NO WAY!! If they are going to install this, there will be no point having drivers in the car. It's all about skill and it what makes every driver unique. Might as well wrap the cars in bubble wrap.

Quite an about face, eh? I didn't mind ABS and TC and active suspension, but it all adds up. If the driver can't make a mistake then the car is becoming the star of the race. Maybe it's a ploy to pull the worst drivers toward the front and make it a closer race, therefor more of a spectacle, by taking out the need for skill on their part.

If they are brought in we should just sack all the drivers and put robots in their place

I'm impressed that all six votes have gone the same way!

Williams admitted a few years ago they would happily run their cars with no drivers through a computer programme and they had the technology to do it, however they did concede that it will never happen because no one would watch!

No surpise here - we all here know what we're talking about. The vote just speaks for the quality of the forum.

If it brings the field closer together, that would improve specatatorship and Bernie's pocketbook.
