"Traction control to return post ban?
25 May 2007
Max Mosley has said that traction control could make a comeback in 2011 due to the proposed regulation changes for that year. The driver aid has been banned for 2008 and 2009 yet Mosley believes that traction control could play a fundamental part in the energy recovery technology expected for 2011.
"It's going to be difficult to have those very sophisticated electronics that go with an energy recovery system without traction control," Mosley told reporters in Monaco.
"It's a very interesting discussion, whether and how much it matters. The classic position always is that traction control is bad. But the drivers like the traction control in all sorts of ways, contrary to what you might think. They love driving without it, but they say Formula One is actually better because of it."
However, Mosley admitted that he is going to have to leave it a couple of years before making a definitive decision as to whether traction control will need to be reintroduced.
"I've got an open mind. We're not going to have it next year or the year after, but by then probably a consensus will have emerged. If we really have to, we can probably run all of these very elaborate electronic systems without any driver aids by having tremendous amount of sensors and black boxes and watching everything that's going on," he added.
