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.
