Re: Use of Earpieces during Competition
Slightly off-topic: A couple of years back, there was a drive coach who got permission to use a loudspeaker, worn around the neck, to communicate with the drivers. Without it, the coach might not have been heard -- I think the problem was laryngitis.
I guess a bullhorn would have been equally effective, but a neck speaker connected to a headset mike kept the coach's hands free. I imagine the appropriate volume set point was a topic of discussion in that team's pit.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
