    a well thought out document, seems no scope for misunderstanding nothingness
    "I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.

    This would probably be one of the most significant changes. We are going to see sliding cars in wet conditions again.

    Hooray!!! Then we'll get to see who the real drivers are.
    A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof
    is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools:grenade:

    I see they've dropped the plans to go back to slicks then...

    Maybe after some time experienced drivers will be valued again!

    Autosport's headline did it for me - FIA abandons plans for wider cars, slicks

    Now I'm not too sure about the slicks/grooves argument. They managed with treaded tyres well enough in the past, although Gilles's arguments in favour of slicks have always struck a chord with me.

    No, it's the narrow cars that depressed me. The move to narrower cars in 1998 (??) stuffed things up and to continue along that road means nothing much is likely to change
