    Well Bernie does have a point that it would be nice to see someone challenge Vettel. Sadly I can't see it being Schumacher or that he would do significantly better than Webber has done up against Vettel.

    He's allowed a free opinion. Give him a break already.

    It's the loopy ideas that affect the sport directly that you should worry about.

    I think hes right, every Qualifying last year where Vettel came out last and set the fastest time right at the last minute, there wasnt any point in watching the race, you already knew who the winner was.

    I am mainly a wrc fan, but even I am not surprised at the lack of popularity-and to me, its no coincidence that at its lowest point of polularity there is also an 8 times world champion. I really dont want F1 to go the same way.

    It would indeed be nice if someone other than Vettel won the championship this year. Three in a row is a bit much...

    Bernie enjoys cream: cash rules everything around me

    If Vettel dominates its another PR disaster for F1 and the general sports audience. Take NASCAR: they engineer a last race showdown with The Chase with the final 10 races acting as a play off.

    When Schumi dominated the sport with Ferrari the points system changed; with a golden generation with have had the 'medals' idea and the points system changed.

    The exact same comments were made during the period of Schumacher/Ferrari domination.
    As a non-spec constructors series periods of domination like this are to be expected. Even the Schumacher/Ferrari period was not the first.
