   A question for someone who knows more about F1: Is this firmware shared by all cars? Or some local server at the track the cars connect to? Why is F1 able to control individual cars like this? The article is very light on details as to what exactly is going on...

      The FIA has this software to stop teams from creating a form of traction control (which has been banned for a good while now)

         Why? To increase chances of crashes that produces more views?

            We should allow batting machines for baseball players to hit the ball more reliably as well. Poker players should play with their cards face up. I agree.

            Manually controlling to the limits of the car is a big part of the skill of racing.
