Yeah - but what we didn't have was a rule book two feet bloody thick which is apparently written , and applied , to suck every little bit of drama and spontaneity out of a sport whose heritage is founded on both .
It is absurd enough penalising a team because an engine blows up , but when every single move on track , almost every overtaking move that isn't by the ridiculous DRS triggers whingeing noises from the cockpit, a f****g 'investigation' (into why a racing driver drove, y'know , like he was..err...racing) and, as often as not , a 'penalty'.
It's insane , and it is turning my sport into a lame parody of what it should be .
