Coaching according to esty:
"You're losing time into T2, brake later"
"You're teammate is up 3 tenths in the middle sector"
"Hurry up you cheeky bastard"
"you'd go faster if you recharged more and weren't such a ****"
Instruction to avoid a failing component? A heads up your brakes are ****? Not coaching.

If the 'stache says it's coaching, it's coaching.

On a serious note, do carbon fiber cars "not age well"? Or maybe that Benetton was just modified too much to get a non-Renault engine installed.

Re: The Official Formula 1 2016 Season Thread
the radio **** has to stop. FIA can't stay out of its own way.
anyway, one thing i thought about during the last race was if the driver asks a yes or no question that can't be answered, couldn't they have a code worked out with engineering?
for instance,
i'm sorry, Lewis, we can't tell you that = yes
Lewis, we cannot say. sorry. = no
EDIT:
this was at the annual summer C&C near me yesterday

This is why we need to raise taxes on the 1%.

On the positive side, the radio ban resulted in situations that created closer racing and better entertainment. Lewis not being able to fix his car issues in Baku was probably the only thing worth watching in that race. Nico losing a position today gives more points to Red Bull.
On the negative side, we're creating artificial entertainment by handcuffing the team's technical abilities. If that's what we're after, lets put sprinklers on the track and create some fake wet races (as long as we put the safety car out immediately amirite?)
F40 is the top of my "if everything went perfectly" car list. Absolutely incredible cars.

Jenson Button came from 17th on the grid to 12th, feeling he had little scope to do better after the wing problem that spoiled his qualifying.
"In our position you need to qualify in the top 10 then try to hang on," he said.
"We haven't got pace to make places up to get into the top 10."
He joked that McLaren had urged him to stay close to Sebastian Vettel when the Ferrari driver - who came home ninth - was penalised for a clash with Felipe Massa.
"The guys said 'maximum attack, stay within five seconds of Vettel'," Button said.
"I think they forgot he was driving a Ferrari. I tried but no chance."

Radio Ban = People went to the moon on less sophisticated machinery. So are the drivers supposed to be mechanical engineers now?
Safety Car Start = Why don't they use it to dry off the track like they do, but when it's time for the race to start, grid up and do a standing start?
NBC Sports = So the Tour de France is more important than F1? That's why we didn't live broadcast it? And thanks for going to commercial at the important parts by the way. I really didn't want to see the Mercedes pit for inters. I would rather see how I can join a class action lawsuit against a pharmaceutical company.

More thoughts by JB
The Brit also offered his advice to the young drivers on the grid, claiming that they should watch old videos of Schumacher to see learn how to race properly.
“These new drivers need to watch more of Michael’s races,” he continued.
“Because although he always raced very hard, at the same time he was always very correct in the way he fought.”
