What you say about it not affecting performance is what rankles for me. Making changes that limit the speed of the cars for example does run contrary to what the sport is all about. But when something doesn't affect car or driver performance at all, and could potentially save lives when something goes wrong, for drivers to say they don't want that just because they're worried about the aesthetic impact is pretty moronic. It boils down to 'I'd rather have my head taken off by a piece of debris than give up my go-faster stripes'.
