Formula 1 teams will be more restricted in terms of how much they can exploit the positioning of nosecone cameras in 2012, with a ‘minimum standard’ being outlined.
Lotus Renault GP Technical Director James Allison believes that outfits up and down the pit lane have been using the placement of these mounted cameras to improve overall downforce levels, but it has come at the cost of television footage.
"Recent seasons have seen the FOM nose cameras located in a manner clearly aimed at promoting the performance of the front wing rather than to deliver effective TV pictures," he explained. "A new article (20.3.4) has been introduced to ensure a minimum standard for the field of view of any nose mounted camera.
"A similar minor change is made to the roll hoop camera location to ensure that a clear picture is not sacrificed on the altar of downforce."
