I remember Brundle jokingly asking Button if the team minded him having a beard as it was added weight in the car.

Will teams make wing settings based on whether or not they expect to be in traffic most of the race? With 4 DRS zones the high DF wing get have more benefit. Ferrari planning to be in front and will not get to use DRS other than lapping slower cars.NicoS wrote: ↑07 Apr 2022, 09:48Rear wings ready for Friday practice!

It doesn't present a burn risk at all. In order for it to burn it will have to be heated up. It's under the clothing so in order for it to get hot enough to burn, the rest of the body will also be as hot i.e. most likely dead.

There are so many sports in which jewelry isn't allowed for a variety of reasons, and either needs to be taped over or just removed, including stuff like soccer where earrings of any kind just aren't allowed, rings are either taped over or removed (including wedding bands), necklaces aren't allowed either and so on.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑07 Apr 2022, 19:43It doesn't present a burn risk at all.

I think you are being a bit discrim against the new head of the FIA just because of the country he is from. Has he done nothing since he started but enact written rules. Basically, doing what we all wanted the FIA to do since the debacle last year. The jewelery thing is not new, it just wasn't enforced and its not Ben thats implementing it but the race director.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑07 Apr 2022, 19:43It doesn't present a burn risk at all.

I know that these cars generate huge magnetic fields with their MGU's. A bit of inductive heating of various metals may not be crazy far from reality.
I just view any bits of metal on a driver as unsecured projectiles in the event of an accident.
But why have they suddenly decided to enforce it now? That's the question. Has something happened that reminded them that it's a problem? Not so far as anyone has seen or they'd have presented it as evidence. It feels like someone in authority doing it because they can.Dee wrote: ↑07 Apr 2022, 20:17I think you are being a bit discrim against the new head of the FIA just because of the country he is from.

I wondered if it was something to do with mick Schumacher and his accident. Doesn’t he wear a necklace?Big Tea wrote: ↑07 Apr 2022, 23:22It is not a new reg, it has been in existence for a considerable time.
It is not as petty as it first seems either. It can catch when a driver is being extracted, it can puncture fireproof clothing, it can be impacted into the body, and it can burn the driver if heated through fireproof cloths.
Not sure when it came out, but I am sure it must be 10 years or more.
