Reading this article on the Autosport website,
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/120520 , I really do despair at the attitude of the FIA.
The proposal is to introduce the new bodywork and aero rules for 2017 which with other changes are supposed to reduce lap times by about 5 seconds.
However, Charlie Whiting is quite clear that he does not expect the new regulations will allow more overtaking opportunities, and in fact it is believed by some that it will be more difficult for cars to follow each other closely because of the changes.
And they then wonder why more and more people are being turned off by Formula 1. The only good news is that the snore fests will finish quicker!
