I get where you're coming from, but I also get the objection to drivers being told "downshift early in turn four". It's their job to work that stuff out.
Messages about "you're not going fast enough" or "you're using too much fuel" are fine in my book and exactly what the pit crew and strategists are there for. It's a team sport so it's only fair to let the teams work as such.
Hopefully Charlie will instil some sense in the stewards regarding how to enforce the rules. The general principle seems fairly solid, but if it's enforced too harshly we'll go from one silly extreme to another.
In other news, first Formula E race this morning in Beijing. I'm just about to settle down and watch it. Our old friend Bruno Senna was fastest in practice! First time I think I've ever written that sentence...
