I'm saying, the FIA may need to review what role GP2 plays. I can see the need for a series, similar to what Indycars used to be and what Superbikes is to MotoGP, an alternative that could be a stepping stone to F1 or a credible series to aspire to on it's own. Beacause, you know what could happen down the track...

- 20 races now, we should increase it to 24, makes more "sense".
- On and on til it reaches 36 races.
- Hey, we're F1, the leading motorsport series in the world. Most races should reflect this, we should have 40!

Someone will then win the title, it was obvious who it was going to be 8 races in.

- We can't let the title winner, virtually, be known after 8 races. We need to do something about this, keep the title race right up til the end, keep the fans interested.
- I know, why don't we have a chase/finals series, like in Nascar?
- Yeah, that's a great idea!

I may come across as cynical, but...
