I disagree I saw a piece where Rosberg was explaining what button did what on his steering wheel and he seemed to know all there was to know about it even the sub menus...
My feeling is that penultimate sentence is a bit of an exageration. But I expect this new rule will lead to more DNFs.But there are so many things in the car that we are doing that if you don't do them maybe there will be too much temperature in the rear brakes because the battery gets too high and then you have a fire in the car.

If you are not using the right settings then you can forget it, you will not do two laps. That is something that is not related to the driver but to the complicated system that we have.
Jann Mardenbrough could be the future of racing.
Another half-baked complete **** up by the FIA, as usual.
Indeed.Surely an absolutely baked to perfection **** up...
FP1 starts tomorrow.I agree but there's nothing to say they can't have a fuel gauge.
For one thing that is a massive exaggeration the eurofighter would fall out of the sky without the computer flying it and there is no bloke back in the tower telling the pilot how to fly the plane, saying things like bank left now or pull back on the stick in ten seconds, an F1 car would not fall off the track if the race engineer didn't say to the driver your teammate is braking 3 metres later than you in turn 3, and for another I personally have not said that a driver cannot have any engineering input I have simply said time and again that he should not be telling the driver how to drive such as telling them which line to take into corners and such if the engineer knows how to drive the car better than the driver maybe Rob Smedley should get in the car and do the job, and I wouldn't take anything Massa says to mean much, that bloke needs to be told how to put his shoes on of a morning ..Expecting an F1 driver to drive the car without any engineering input is no different to expecting a Eurofighter pilot to fly the plane without the computer.
That's why I said engineering input and not Racing 101 tips.here is no bloke back in the tower telling the pilot how to fly the plane, saying things like bank left now or pull back on the stick in ten seconds
