What happens if the LED lights are broken in an impact?

[PG_Gabriel]

Do the marshals know what to do? Yes, yes they do. The lights are nothing new. The old cars had the same lights, they were on top of the chassis, right in front of the steering wheel. They are just on the roll hoop now.

He might have a point about some of those nosecone designs.  I'd like to see the rules changed for them either way, because they look so ugly.

Was that interview conducted in English or Italian?  I've been looking for it on the Minardi website and I can't find it.  If it was conducted in Italian, the translation could be a touch misleading in places.

Come on, the FIA know what they're doing.  These will be the safest cars ever.

The FIA has assured the world that the rules will be clarified for 2015 to prevent a second season of "Goon" noses.

Lonny they were trying to rectify the Platypus nose in the first place to begin with.  I wonder what this may end up being after another set of rule change regarding the nose in 2015

They'll probably specify a minimum width, and the teams will get round it by putting a big hole in the middle so it looks like an unstrung tennis racquet.

The way the development is going Lonny I wonder will they stay put with the design you suggested 
They seems to get inspiration from odd places

Oh that's a shame most people liked the Goons, at least we're seeing distinctive variations in the cars this year.
The FIA obviously wants F1 to become a spec nose series, how boring - and what's next on the specs list?
