    You misunderstand - it's not pegging back faster cars, it's trying to equalise two different sets of rules which were meant to be equal all along.

    The issue with the BAR wasn't its fuel system - it was the ballast. The rule is that the dry weight has to be 600kg. The BAR was 593kg dry. The team were trying to use fuel as ballast which was...

    It really seems like it's been like that for the last few years, one way or another, it grows very tiresome:

    That's really clever - pity they banned it. It would've been great to see it on all cars and see how it affected the racing.

    Therein lies the fun. What will the budget-capped teams do with their money? Given all the freedoms, what's the best thing to spend your limited budget on?

    My point was that it's not just F1 - it's the same in touring cars and sports cars too - the fact that it's harder to overtake now than it once was. So, i think the current F1 rules are less to blame...

    Nothing, that's what. If they did they'd have...
