lol, i want to see him goto Audi...
FIA has scrapped the idea of fenders on F1 cars.
They were calling them “spray shields,” and they were looking into a device that would help with driver visibility in the wet but could be added on the fly, like during a tire change to wets, but it was a quick-detach fender in all but name. They tested them last year at Silverstone and again this year at Fiorano. Apparently it didn’t go so good.
They’ve already abandoned the traditional concept of “open cockpit” with the “halo,” (which they justified primarily on the basis of a driver killing himself by ignoring yellow flags) so I guess the “open wheel” concept is also negotiable. They just didn’t get it right this time, but with their fetish to create a “Formula Nerf,” I doubt they’ll give up.
