Forgive the wodge!

"TIME TO MAKE UP THE RIGHT RULES’
Blinkered team bosses annoy and impress me in equal measure. They are hardwired to win for their team and they don’t much care about the bigger picture even if they pay lip service to it. The last team boss who tried to consider what might be best for the overall sport was Martin Whitmarsh at McLaren and look what happened to him.
Teams need protecting from themselves because they don’t seem to realise that a fragile grid of horrendously expensive cars in effectively three classes can only lead to extinction. There should be at least 24 reasonably matched cars from 12 teams on the grid who all make a sustainable profit and are building a valuable franchise. There’s already enough money in the system to do that.
Let me simplify that even more. Give us 24 well-matched, visually and aurally scary F1 cars with the fastest, bravest young drivers and we’ll give you copious trackside fans and an audience. All the tools are there, please deploy them."

I love how Brundle thinks.
