Fia's First Draft Of New F1 Regulations
#11
[quote name='inanimate_object' date='Jun 17 2005, 04:55 PM']It's been competetive in so far as nobody is running away with it, but the excitement factor is still lacking a bit.
And if Ferrari et al were to supply a "manual" sequential I would definitely pick it over the solenoid controlled version - a few nanoseconds between changes is bearable for the sake of a positive gearchange.
EDIT: and silverseven, FWIW Webber and co. still won't have to use the clutch - at least certainly not on upshifts.

Yeah I've never really liked the paddle shifting gearboxes, just from a driver's perspective...I would much rather have a standard gearshifter...and this season has been amazing so far, I hope Kimi takes the race tomorrow just to shake Renault up some more.

Actually now that you mention it, it's quite possible that they will still use paddles, but obviously using mechanical linkage - I have seen this done pretty effectively on similar cars to mine - it's good beacuse it keeps your hands on the wheel.

manual gearboxes may be more pleasing to us, were also not going at the same speeds and conditions as they are. when your going 210+ mph taking one hand off the wheel so you can shift doesnt seem like one of the smartest things to do.

Yeah I know it's pretty ridiculous (having mech. linkage in an F1 car), that's the point I was trying to make just in case I didn't!
