Any suggestions?
The way i'm reading this is that they would not even be able to tell their driver to pit.
It would have to be completely up to him(driver) and the feel of the car when they come to pit.
He would then have to let the crew know he is coming in so they can get the tires/jacks ready.
I am curious how the teams are going to get around it.
EDIT: I did NOT read the last paragraph that stated:
"Teams will still have the freedom to advise drivers on pit-stop strategies and safety issues,, while the FIA should ensure dramatic radio conversations remain for TV purposes. The ban is expected to be discussed further in Singapore to clarify what is and is not permitted."
Interested to see what exactly will be permitted or not.
