    Perhaps both of us are like good wine, we have improved with age, either that or the test is very flattering and kind to us when we enter our age.

    Changing the rules mid season is a 'no-no' unless for safety reasons...... but it's not the first or last time from the FiA.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    What makes this change so wrong? All drivers should have had a chance to be late on purpose for PS during the season?

    I think everybody should expect that FIA will made this change. They are stupid they didnt think about it before...

    You will be very pleased to read FIA's explanation that it is indeed for safety reasons

    This will take place with immediate effect for safety reasons. ...

    LOL, technically the safety reasons are off course correct. Even though we all know that TV and "sporting" reasons are as much or move important.

    Anyway strictly speaking this change should have been done at the same time powerstage points were introduced (2014). That it took so long before someone exploited this is actually quite amazing.
