is ABS brake banned in F1? if so, why??

Answer 1

ABS was banned in 1993 after being used most succesfully, along with many other driving aids, like traction control, launch control, active suspension and so on, in the 1992 and 1993 seasons. It was classified as an electronic driver aid, preventing the wheels from locking up and eliminating the driver's skill from the process of braking. In F1, braking for a corner is still considered to be the most important test for a driver.

Answer 2

Yes because it is considerd a driving aid. It makes it harder for a driver to lock the wheels under braking and also allows them to brake deeper into corners

yes, ABS are banned in F1 for the simple reason that the FIA ( federacion international automobile ) which is the sports governing body deemed it illegal, of course since the rules and technical specifications of the cars are changed regularly, there might come a time when it will be legalized in F1, if you recall, most of the so called " drivers aids " in last years car , eg : traction control, semi automatic gearbox etc... were at one time also illegal...

Answer 3

ABS is a driving aid, as is traction control. Other driver aids are "legal" because they are not deemed to be helpful, even though they are.

I would ban paddle shifters, semi-automatic transmissions, and the ability to modify the car via computer or within the cockpit (ie. brake bias). Computers should only be in the car for the purpose of data collection, not car management, and adjustments should be done outside the car before the race and during pit stops.

The car Williams developed in the early 1990s (with its autoshifting engine, ABS and many other aids) was a technological marvel, it was nothing more than a one-gear gokart - David Coulthard, who test drove it, didn't have to do anything more than steer and use the gas and brake pedals.

F1 races should always be decided by the human element; otherwise, you might as well put a programmed GPS computer to steer the car around the track.
