Tristan should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Hmmmm... I have to disagree. He will eventually NEED to make them slower. AND HE WILL. Personally, I feel the speeds right now are fine and should be maintained. If they begin to rise significantly in the next few years, then the issue WILL have to be addressed before people start getting hurt. In F1 the tracks have corners, narrow bits and (as we've seen today) spectators in very close proximity to the track. THEY ARE NOT SUPERSPEEDWAYS. F1 therefore cannot REALLY be compared to CART in that respect.

HOWEVER, I DO aggree that if the methods used to reduce the speen significantly infringe on the driver's skill, overtaking, and the spectacle that IS F1, it will be a crying shame. However, I'm confident they wont be that stupid. If F1 gets any more prossesional then TV audiances will simple turn off, and I don't think the FIA would be willing to risk that, do you?
