Anyone else noticed Daniel's starts since the change earlier in the year to disable a lot of the input from software? He was ATROCIOUS up until the change then like someone flipped a switch (to the off position) he is at least holding ground if not gaining places. 

 

Anyone noticed other drivers affected to this degree since the change was made?

Daniel was always a good starter in lower formulas, so no big surprise that when the Red Bull factor is diminished he improved. I never believed his poor starts were down to him solely. 

 

Red Bull, perhaps particularly the side of the garage that Dan seemed to inherit from Webber (Rennie and the data analyst guy) must have been getting the bite point setting wrong consistently? Kyvat's starts don't seem to have changed as much.

Yeah, the difference is like night and day. Would be interested in seeing the stats comparing before the change and after the change. 

 

One thing I think this does, looking historically: you can bet Webber wishes this rule had been in place years ago.

There does seem to have been a change. Some of his starts previously have been Webber-esque.
