I understand the system to change the brake balance automatically depending on where the car is on the track. This would be similar to throttle mapping changing automatically depending on track location.
Seeing it like that, to me it definitely is a driver's aid. I am just amazed how the FIA manages time and again to screw up their rulemaking. Probably all the tech regs need to be rewritten to more generically address the effect the governing body wants to achieve than to address specific solutions.
Technology neutral regulation is always more effective than technology specific regulation. It is not as black and white but FIA decision making has never been black and white while they suggest their rules are. Time to synchronize the two.
