I also see it as strange to have alternating directors. If it was team of 3 and one rotated out leaving 2 to supervise, I could understand it, as it would be preparing a replacement if needed. Just a sole director this week may not think the same way as the director of last week, which now everyone sees the decisions of, and act appropriately.Airshifter wrote: ↑06 Mar 2022, 21:43Rather than turn this into an extension of the locked Abu Dhabi race thread and previous feelings, wouldn't it be nice if people actually discussed the changes being made by the FIA? The speculation and arguments threads are out of hand.
I'm still a bit perplexed about having two race directors rotating myself. Find a single one and if needed rotate the assistants as needed IMHO. I'll have to wait to see the full details of the SC and restart changes, but if they can get things moving quicker while still safe and have a set standard procedure I'll roll with it I suspect.
Track limits is really something I think needs to be a black and white thing. It seems allowing exceptions track to track just creates confusion and more room for error. They wouldn't be over the lines if it didn't provide some lasting benefit if you ask me. I can't see why they have avoided this simple fix for years. With potentially more access to quick video review, it should be easy.
It still does not cover the 'one person making a a decision in isolation' problem.
