WE all saw how Alonso couldn't hang with a rookie, so he blackmailed and whined and cried and then went back to Papa Flava Flav and demanded a teammate fitting of the "great" Alonsa. WE also know that Alonsa was happy with the situation where he out qualified his so called teammate 18-0 and kept him on board this year. What's the matter, Ghetto Racer wasn't available for the 2009 season?

I dunno about this one...
Now someone with, say 3-4 wins can win a title even if they DNF's the rest of the races...
For sure you don't need reliability anymore, it doesn't matter if you DNF every now and then as long as you win when you finish.
Clearly shows who runs F1, it's all Bernie.

This new win system is dumb but their proposed 33 mil euro spending limit is much more dumber!
How do you expect top team which now spends 300 million to cut their spending to 33 for next season? Ferrari, Renault & probably McLaren would only be able to pay for one driver and then have nothing left for building their car?
Mosley & Eccelstone are really ****ing up things in a big way this time. Does anyone else besides Bernie like the new point system? I know none of the drivers & team are.

Ok like that is going to help make it cheaper.

For a brief moment, my mind read "every time you win a trophy, it gets attached to the chassis."
Gives the slower guys a chance to win.

Pay no attention to him Larry, he seems to forget a rookie got the best of him a couple years ago and had to have Nelsinho to prop up his ego again. The OT section has been tamed and Wayne's coming in here to stir the pot. God help us all if Renault gets off to a good start.
