Brake lights?!?
What's your opinion? I think, it's silly. It will not take any effect. Teams will only exactly know, where are drivers of others teams starting braking for a corner. Driver will know, that the driver in front of him is braking, but fe can react and touch the brakes much later. Something about 0,3-0,5 sec. It's late...

But, but, but, but....argghhh! The FIA is going to give me head pains if it keeps on with stuff like this. I don't know what others think, but to me this is on par with grooved tyres...as Dr. Mario Thiessen said (although not on this matter, but regarding a reduction in engine capacity); "...It's called Formula One, not Formula Sorry".
How long until we get SatNav, air conditioning, indicators, and one of those hooks to hang your coat on? ;P By the way, does anyone know if they're going to use the rain light for the brake light if it is implemented fully? What happens if it rains? |

Firstly, I don't believe there is anything specific yet on implementation of the brake light. I understand Prost lit up a fair amount of the back of the car. Apart from anything else, with F1 braking distances, all it will do is that the driver behind will know a little sooner that they are about to hit the car in front if they are that close anyway.
P.S. You forgot cupholders |
