atlasf1.com has a story re these sensors which, if true, will already render ineffective the 'evening the playing field' of re-unoutlawing tc. as the lights cut, these sensors will automatically launch the car. the fia must acquire adequate electronics personnel in order to put a stop to the bending of the rules. although it's justifiable and understandable for the teams to 'work' the rules, f1 is steering towards remote-controlled (i.e., driverless) cars in the not-so-near future. why cannot f1 regulate these electronics? is the fia's history always been to succumb to rules violators when it's easier than fixing the problem? surely, these aids can be detected with better personnel in possession of more sophisticated equipment. but then, i'm speculating. is this a possiblity?
