A classic case of the inmates running the jail. Personally I think the current cries from fandom to reduce weight is just a populist thing because someone thought it was a good idea. F1 seems prone to populist ideas for some reason, when Kubica returned the furore and comment soon turned to silence after he did not perform as everyone said he would.
