It seems bizarre that team members in the pit cannot use a mobile phone (whilst not engaging in an actual pit stop obviously) but all spectators just a few feet further away can - and indeed are encouraged to with the free WIFI and app.

Mike is right that the regs need to be followed, so the question is should the regs be changed? Or indeed can they be changed (I don't know if there is any legal precedent which means they cannot)?
