The new 'start' and the media...
Posted: Fri Aug 21, 2015 11:30 am
I'm just wondering how the new starts will play out on Sunday and how the media will portray it. I suspect that it won't be as dramatic as some are making it out, but if it is will we get the predictable knee jerk from the commentators or will they actually temper their 'enthusiasm' with some reality?
I've seen people on this forum bringing up Paletti's crash into the back of Pironi, but I can't really believe that were likely to see anything like that, not least because from what I remember Paletti wasn't looking where he was going. But in any case, stalling on the grid has never gone away...
So do we think the starts will be chaos, or will it be fairly hard to tell the difference?
And what of the press, will they be lauding the driver who makes a blinder or castigating the ones who drop the ball, even though from the sounds of it finding the bite point will be more luck than judgement?
And what of the teams, might they not have invested some time into making changes to the clutch system to make it easier for a driver?
