Rob Smedley juge inacceptable la lenteur des réactions des murets des stands en F1

L'ancien ingénieur de Ferrari et Williams, Rob Smedley, a critiqué certains ingénieurs de course modernes pour le temps qu'ils mettent à transmettre des informations cruciales aux pilotes durant les courses. Il a exprimé ces commentaires lors de son intervention dans le podcast High Performance Racing, aux côtés d'Otmar Szafnauer et de Jake Humphrey.

Smedley a décrit un excellent ingénieur de course comme une personne qui comprend à la fois les aspects techniques de la voiture et la psychologie du pilote. Il a souligné la nécessité de posséder des connaissances en aérodynamique, en pneumatiques et en systèmes mécaniques afin d'optimiser rapidement les performances.
