Amazing !

Then Pirelli can bring that into your living room at no extra charge..

I would rather see Lotus and Ferrari battling up front, than see yet another title being won by a soft drinks company. Lotus and Ferrari built a car based on data given to them, pre-season, by Pirelli. The other teams apparently didn't.

You have a point...

Please understand I don't want to see dominance by any team and I don't really give a toss or care to be honest if they make oven cleaner...

I so agree.

Too late for me to vote, but I'd venture a 4 or 5.

Driving round to a delta time is getting a bit much for me now too, so I'll begin to join the chorus (although I wanted nothing changed until year's end for fairness's sake; obviously Horner's relationship with those up top put paid to that). Still, nice to see favouritism swinging in a new direction (irony).

I also feel a bit sad today with the news about MotoGP being lost from free to air, just like Formula 1. It sucks some enthusiasm out of the sport for me, mainly due to the anger with the self-serving cretins at the top. Hopefully, they lose a shedload of sponsors and remind themselves who's actually paying for all this ultimately - the "consumer". You and I.

In previous seasons, as well as this one, the teams only put enough fuel in the cars to drive to delta times.

Perhaps it's the result of a recent lack of success from a certain Valentino Rossi?

How long ago is it now that he actually won a race?

There's also some moaning about the tyres not getting punished as much as when they didn't have traction control. That's irony for you.

You against the world...
