I've had it up to my f'ing eyeballs with non F1 people slamming F1 because there is no passing. THAT'S COMPLETE BS! There is passing but you can't tell because when someone is busy slicing their way up through the field like Kimi did the damn editor has the camera on some dolt like Sato.
Every country has their own TV crew, so you get to a country that has a driver running and that countryman can be crawling around at the middle or the back of the pack while world champion contenders are dueling it out, and the damn feed shows the local countryman driving around doing nothing.
wheres our bernie feed? i love it when the camera pulls away just before a pass is made to show some back marker spinning off, its that nascar thing, crashes are cool.

Do you support the one engine for 2 races rule?
Do you think the 10-position setback is ok, too much, too little?
What other thoughts, any?

I think the should grid normally, then 3 or 4 points are subtracted from the Constructor championship points only - not the driver.

in general, i don't understand the reasoning behind SO many rules in the first place....it's annoying.
they got a rule for every god damn thing you could think of.....
they should just go back to race what you brung....and be done with it.
so, MS could have the best chassis/car, the most skill, and not win, because he has the burden of running a previously raced motor....how is that sport?
or is the FIA only going for the ILLUSION of sport?

What I find most frustrating is you can't really tell how a team in doing year to year now...is it the team or the freaking stupid rules????

I agree - KR passed up the whole field and I can't remember seeing one of his passes at all
