I do not understand the rule at all. F1 is all about safety lately - with the mechanics unable to cheer at the side of the circuit - and they remove tyre blankets? Removing tyre blankets is in my opinion even more dangerous. Imagine de Vries coming out of the pits with fresh slicks and missing the first corner because his tyres are not at temperature - with Alonso next to him. Then his career is definitely over.
I feel like it’s something that might result in a bad few practice sessions and maybe a race or two, but I think it’s something the drivers will quickly get used to
Exactly. Drivers have this magical pedal that allows them to control their speed. People acting like drivers will go flat out all the time and crash constantly.

It’s doable, other series do it (F2, Indy). I just don’t think the pirelli tyres are made to heat up properly by being driven.
