Precisely, that's one of the observations I was making.

The only way the casual viewer could stumble across it is if they catch C4 highlights or Five Live. Seems we’ve lost all progress we’ve gained in terms of television in the past four decades

Supplying all teams with current spec engines would be a start. The likes of Mercedes and Ferrari are supplying teams with older spec engines.

Too little, too late IMHO. As much as I respect Ross Brawn and few others at the helm I honestly think it's dead in the water, the next couple of seasons will be quite telling with the way sponsors money is directed I feel. Multinationals are not going to continue to pour millions into a bottomless pit without some very serious changes taking place.

I feel they need to sail this sinking ship carefully through muddy waters and get it back to how it should be

Carefully?

I think they came up with their own decision here

Interesting proposals by Stefan Johansson to fix the f1.

I started to read this, but some of the content is covered up by poorly integrated advertisements and that website looks to be a complete mess. I was concerned it wasn't legitimate content. But after searching around, it appears it has been lifted entirely from motorsports.com. So for those interested it might be easier to read the original source vs. a stolen copy (that generated revenue by serving up ads for content created by others)...

It looks to be a four part commentary (not all published yet). I have done a VERY quick scan of this first part, but plan to read the entire thing in detail. It will be interesting to see what his thoughts are. It would appear he has put some thought into this and that it is just not high level rewording of "goals" (i.e. "Improve racing") as solutions and instead is providing actual suggestions.

After reading SJ"s article I copied the link to paste it here and saw it has been done already. I found the article made too much sense.

Can't wait for part 2.

Thanks. I gave it a quick read and initially it seems to make sense, so I look forward to reading both parts in their entirety.
