We saw Miller crashing because of a faulty hole shot system that didn't release the suspension when he applied brakes for the first turn. That could be prevented if teams had the possibility of releasing the suspension by an electronic input in case the ECU identified both signals for brakes applied and hole shot device in use.
Why are we punishing teams and putting riders in danger like "well fuck you, if you don't want your rider to crash make something that works"?
Aviation is safety on a state of art level, not in theory, but in reality. Yes, we see lots of suspicious stuff to fix planes until they can go in maintenance, but systems redundancy is the reason aviation is so safe today.
We don't have room for redundant mechanical systems but we have room for electronical redundancy. We saw Pedrosa being trebucheted into space for lack of traction control signal, which is a critical system and should have redundancy for its signal.
If we could implement a switch to force the suspension release, electronically controlled, what would be the problem? Give the rider a long lap if he used electronic aid to keep running after a mechanical failure like that, so what. There's signal enough to make this work, if there's signal for brakes, low gear and hole shot on, the ECU should be able to do something, not just make us watch a rider crash for no reason.
There's many, many things that could be implemented if the bikes are capable of transmitting signal to the garage. Not for race strategy, but safety. Aprilia has lots of mechanical issues like gearbox overheating for forcing higher RPM, the rider is not dumb, why doesn't the rider have that critical temperature info, or even the garage to throw him a "easy and come to box" flag?
My point is that we have technology and physical room for safety systems but rules prevent teams from using that.
What is your opinion about this?
