Incredibly painful watching Albon here knowing what happens in the future.

Also that edit of Latifis crash was hilarious.

It's a pity that the super tight regulations of F1 kill so many innovations.

What does DAS do?

As F1 technical expert Mark Hughes explains here, the device appears to change the alignment (toe) of the front wheels. It is controlled by the driver by pulling and pushing on the steering column.

Allison was coy about its use when grilled on Thursday afternoon. "It just introduces an extra dimension for the steering, for the driver, which we hope will be useful during the year," he said. "But precisely how we use it and why we use it, that’s something we will keep to ourselves.”

Okay, so what does it do?!

The team clearly being tight-lipped about the system, but our tech expert Mark Hughes says: "If the mechanism works as assumed, the [effect of deploying the device will mean the] tyres will be heated more evenly across their width as they run fully upright, but the benefits of toe-out can still be deployed into the corner. It will be of particular benefit on circuits with long straights."
