安德森为F1阻挡问题提供简单解决方案
F1赛事中，车手在快圈时被阻挡的问题不断，安德森提出通过增大后视镜尺寸来解决这个问题。
在每一个一级方程式赛车周末，都有关于车手在快速圈中被阻挡的持续抱怨。当今天的美国大奖赛资格赛发生时，我们可以期待更多这样的抱怨。
然而，有一个简单的解决方案可以立即实施，以防止这些几乎发生的碰撞。
问题的严重性是显而易见的。今年已经有12个赛周末中的17个赛周末进行了 裁判长，此处指赛事裁判对阻碍行为的调查，总共发出了14项处罚，其中包括一些发车线处罚。即使没有达到这个程度，无线电波中充满了车手们通过无线电抱怨被阻挡的情况。
这不需要一个复杂的解决方案，也不需要重新发明轮子或花费巨额资金。甚至不需要添加任何新东西。
简单地将规则修改为将后视镜的尺寸加倍，并更精确地定义这些镜子的理想位置。
这里的‘理想’并不是指空气动力学上的理想——我的意思是对于车手的视线来说。
为了让大家有个概念，我在右边的图片上用白色标出了我会如何操作奔驰车。你可以看到左边与红牛当前标准尺寸后视镜的对比。
是的，这将会增加一点阻力，使得空气动力学设计更加困难，但更重要的是减少由于视线受阻而改变排位次数的情况。
然后重点可以放在车手对自己的行为负责上。镜子的位置将被指定——为了确保没有人试图利用任何灰色地带或漏洞，可以有一个补充测试，要求车手能够坐在驾驶舱内阅读放置在车辆指定位置后的板上。所以就像视力测试，但是反过来的。
我们经常听说车手的后视镜会振动。当然，这个问题不应该超出F1及其设计团队的能力范围。如果真的超出了，那么外面有无数的振动专家会非常乐意提供解决方案。
如果一个车队进入了一辆仍然存在后视镜振动问题的赛车，那么这属于'危险构造'。如果车手看不到他们后面的车辆，那么他们必须承担车队让他们陷入的情况的后果。
有时，由于维修区的信息不准确，车手会受到减刑甚至完全取消处罚。是的，拥有这些信息是有帮助的，而且应该继续这样做——但是遵守的责任应该落在车手身上。
通过给车手提供更好的视野，这将使他们没有借口不集中注意力。

Every Formula 1 race weekend, there are constant complaints about drivers being blocked when on a fast lap. Expect more when United States Grand Prix qualifying happens later today.
Yet there is a simple solution that could be implemented immediately to prevent these near-misses.
The extent of the problem is obvious. There have been stewards’ investigations into impeding on 12 out of 17 race weekends already this year, with a total of 14 punishments issued, some of those grid penalties. And even when it doesn’t go this far, the airwaves are filled with drivers complaining about being held up over the radio.
This doesn’t need a complicated fix that requires you to reinvent the wheel or spend huge amounts of money. It doesn’t even need something new to be added.
Simply change the regulations to double the size of the rear-view mirrors and more closely define the ideal position for those.
By 'ideal' I don’t mean aerodynamically ideal - I mean for the driver’s line of sight.
To give an idea of the size, I’ve highlighted what I would do in white on the Mercedes in the image on the right. You can see the comparison to the current standard size mirrors on the Red Bull on the left.
Yes, it will create a little more drag and make the aero design more difficult, but it’s more important to reduce the number of times qualifying is changed by impeding.
Then the emphasis can be on the driver to be responsible for their actions. The mirror position will be specified - and to ensure that nobody attempts to exploit any grey areas or loopholes, you can have a supplementary test that requires a driver to be able to sit in the cockpit and read something on a board placed in specified positions behind the car. So like an eye test, but backwards.
We often hear about the drivers’ rear-view mirrors vibrating. Surely this problem is not beyond the might of F1 and its design teams to solve. And if it is, there are numerous vibration specialists out there that would be only too happy to come up with a solution.
If a team enters a car that still suffers mirror vibration problems, then that comes under 'dangerous construction'. If the driver can’t see a car behind them, then they have to suffer the consequences of the situation that the team has put them into.
There are occasions when the drivers have had penalties reduced or sometimes even dropped entirely because of poor information from the pitwall. Yes, it is helpful to have this information and it should continue - but the onus to comply should be on the driver.
By giving the drivers better visibility, it would give them no excuses for not paying attention.
