Max mosely has gone back on his decision to make F1 low tech by 08. Meaning: more stupid rules (such as the engine penalty drop), more uninspiring racing (like silverstone last week) and most importantly, many more races where the jordans and minardis are there to fill up the grid.
Not to mention, to provide an obstruction in the tunnel at monaco

I agree that the Fia do have to share the blame but as it is now with all teams having to agree on changes this must have a larger impact on performance

Not really, as it encourages a more subtle drivng style, not one where the car is thrashed (Kimi @ nurburg). Fair point on the fuel load but if you've ever watched Nascar it's rubish how a whole heap of cars drop out due to the fact the tanks empty.

I'm with you. For the single reason you could see driver reaction when there time was beaten by what they would do back out on track.
Anyone who likes F1 should vote on the formula1 website. [URL]http://www.formula1.com/news/3312.html[/URL] otherwise we will end up with the same unrealistic format
The tyre rule is stupid and dangerous.
94 was the best season when they could change tyres but not refuel. One tank has to last the whole race.
Bring back 12 lap qualifying

You know why. Every other yearferrari win a championship so they try to slow them down, and in the 2003 season it did work with the championship going to the lastrace but thisyear the changes have back fired because ferrari aren't having a good time but due to the regulations others can't even follow them.
Look at silverstone, kimiwas so much faster than michael but couldn't get past.

They all take the best line already, that's why there's no overtaking, because if they go off the line it's slower.
The speed boost is only a limited thing it would seem. Only a boost of power for about 5 seconds. If it increases overtaking, why not?

Didn't sauber have a 2003 ferrari engine/chassis last season.
That boost thing sounds interesting but the point i'm trying to make is that it should be up to the driver to take a better line than click a button and instantly have more power
