I stopped watching F1 when they eliminated active suspensions. I never cared about the competitiveness... I just wanted to see the cars go fast.

wtf ONE tire change?? Holy crap. I also agree with them trying to make it more fair to other teams but i don't know if this is the way to do it. Maybe they should consider changing the points schedule.

How about for rain? Does this mean they can't switch between rain/dry tires during a race or between qualifying?
