After FIA introduced brake by wire system in new 2014 rules, I find a lot of speculations about it's work, what does this mean and what it bring to Formula 1. Especially is a fun to follow some forums and explanations that some people offer without reading rules. A lot of fans are in dilemma that this news can open a gate for cheating with some ABS's, traction controls or some other kind of forbidden system hidden in the depths of software. While Formula 1 people make everything sound overly technical, effectively Formula 1 cars are adapting the 'brake pedal feel simulator' that most road car hybrid drivers, especially Chevy Volt and Prius owners, will be very familiar with, and from all reports it's taking the drivers some time to get used to it.
Without doubt a few would have been thinking how to gain extra benefits out of the system. Time will tell however we will be seeing some very clever use of the new ERS system over the course of the year and years to come.
