F1 didn't have tire warmers in the past and the starts were no more chaotic.
Tire warmers first were used I believe by Brabham (Someone correct me if I am wrong on the date and team) in the late 80's and were an advantage after pit stops as tires took less time to get up to speed. Once all the teams had warmers, the advantage became moot and they became an unneccessary expense. If drivers cannot drive in F1 on cold tires, they don't deserve to be there. Plain and simple.
This is a classic example of the unneccessary spiralling of expenses that must be brought into line for the sport to survive.
Its an easy thing to cut and no team will gain an advantage by the change and it will reward more skilled drivers and penalize the duffers.
Its pretty clear to me.
