Once a year Prima Donna's
Politics cruels so many things in life, however, the once a year PDs who become instant experts and have to be seen in the right places with the right faces really urinate me off!

I would say all but the most one is politics.

"manual gearing and launch control are back this year.. "
That's knda true- they will still have paddle shifting and no H box- but that will never come back- even champcars use manual sequential off the steering wheel and there is little boring about those things at MidOhio that's for sure, even surfer's is always a wacky one, but there have been lots of parades- not like the Zanardi years Is Zanardi the "Aryton Senna" of ChampCars? (don't hit me it is a metaphor for his talent graceful winning and aggressive and sure style) |

everything else can stay but get rid of those damn grooved tyres! they still just don't look right. F1 just keeps getting better and better though.

I'd like to vote for all of them, but I guess traction control is the one I'd pick on the list. However, the worst aspect of FI has consistently been the points scoring system which has singularly failed over the years to reward victories sufficiently. Last year they contrived to make it even less important to win races when only 2 points separated the race winner from second place, the same margin by which MS, with 6 wins beat KR with one win to the WDC. Ludicrous.

Actually, I've just noted that the question is about driver aids whereas the poll is the most despised aspect of FI - surely 2 separate issues. However, I make no apologies for raising again the points scoring system, since it is my most despised aspect of FI, but also aids the drivers who can't win races very often!!!!
