Ecclestone behind radio ban
Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone claims he was behind the new radio ban, prohibiting certain info passing from team to driver.
The ban is the talk of the paddock at this week’s Singapore Grand Prix and stops race engineers giving advice to drivers on how to improve their performance.
Ecclestone says that drivers need to become heroes again and that their reaction has been positive.
“The drivers are all happy it’s gone. They drive the cars, they should know what’s wrong and right. They shouldn’t have someone on the pit wall telling them what to do.”
Some drivers, such as Fernando Alonso, don’t see it making a big difference but his team-mate, Kimi Raikkonen, highlighted the potential problem in official press conference today.
“It might get complicated if there is a problem trying to change things to finish the race”. These problems are expected to relate to fuel issues.
