Some of it seems interesting. I go back to the days when the rules governed the engine size and weight of the car, and that was it. These days the rules cover several pages and describe how the car must be built, right down to the size of the cockpit opening and how thick the body walls must be. The 'less grip' thing forcing the drivers to work harder gets my vote.

Looking forward to it.

And still the difference between top teams and the end of the wagon ones still huge, to a point where no race ends without the last ones being lapped at least once and many times twoce isn't it ridiculous??

Here's to more 'racing' and less 'parading'....

And to the race officials- please take it easy with those penalties!

Cannot wait for the season to start!
