With Components one tweaking its policies all around motorists likely as well slowly and gradually in qualifying, Roger Ayles can see a dilemma forward of Friday’s session…
The point with the hottest try at halting motorists driving as well slowly and gradually in qualifying is that, like with a lot of of the foolish rules in F1, it is hoping to resolve the symptom alternatively than the trigger.
The situation of driving extremely slowly and gradually in qualifying is a comparatively new point that arrived about as a final result of the higher degradation tyres, the confined amount of tyres/compounds and how ridiculously temperature delicate they are now as very well as the genuinely higher mandated commencing pressures.
If you generate as well rapidly on the out lap, you spike the tyre temperatures which not only sees you start off the lap with fewer grip but also usually means, as temperatures and pressures go larger about the lap, you are just getting rid of far more and far more time as very well as raising the amount of money of degradation the tyre is struggling about the lap.
And the moment you do the lap, you want to deliver the temperatures down as rapidly as attainable and minimise any further tension that has been place via the tyre just in scenario you finish up needing that established in the race.
If they gave them far better tires that did not have artificially higher concentrations of degradation, weren’t as temperature delicate and did not power groups to operate this kind of ridiculously higher pressures then they would not want to infant them so substantially on out/in laps to start off with.
But alternatively, let us just deliver in far more foolish rules for the previously about-controlled and inflated rulebook that will provide no intent other than develop far more loop holes, controversy and inconsistency which is proficiently the only point any of the foolish about-regulation about the earlier twenty yrs has completed!
