p and grumpy1,
I do see your point, and it is a very fair one.
However, if the teams are allowed to have fancy electronics on engines and such, for example rev limiters and traction control to prevent potential problems, reliabiltity and binabilty why can't they cool the brakes as they see fit?
After all, these days are the last of the late brakers. If everyone is always looking after their brakes, passing gets difficult and that is a big problem at the mo.
The tyres are so good now you need good brakes.
15-20 years ago the whole car had to be looked after. Why now just the brakes?
If they want to curb brakes, make steel discs mandatory.
Sorry, but I agree to disagree here. Stupid rule.
