jobdone should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Double points race is ridiculous, but will also have the knock on effect of ensuring teams develop their cars right until the end of the season due to the extra points on offer, surely meaning more money being spent.

I'm happy enough with the number changes, although Sebastian Vettel has enough trouble sticking with one helmet design throughout a race weekend, how is he going to be able select a number for a season/career when he isn't given no.1?!

Regarding the Bahrain test, does anyone know if the teams may consider, or are able to use the V6 engines? Not sure if any are ready for track use yet (apart from the Ferrari apparently) but I'd bet they'd jump at the chance to try them if they could. The Autosport story mentions 2013 cars, but no mention of engines, unless this also means 2013 engines. Given the extra torque the tyres are going to have to withstand next year, surely it would make sense to allow the new engines?
