I did! I also read what you quoted in the first post, about Max not doing his job as FIA president because he has to focus on his personal problems.

Which came directly from the first few paragraphs of the Autosport article, which in turn related to what Flavio Briatore was quoted as saying.

My comments about the article related to Briatore's wish to see F1 doing more for the fans.

I'm not the biggest fan on Flavio, but let 'em have it!

Finally, someone with the temerity to stand up to the shenanigans in F1.

i'd give his engine comments more cred if renault's engine customer wasn't regularly outqualifying - and outracing - them.

that indicates the rest of the renault people aren't doing enough with the engine they have.

you don't often see toro rosso outqualifying ferrari, after all.

There is nowt wrong with F1. Every season since the boring 2004 season has been an improvement. A lot of this is to do with the loss of Schumacher and his dominance. But the racing is better now and more open, and with the new rules for 2009 it will open up even more.

I am against anything like reverse-grids and two races a day for F1.

Flavio is right. Changes need to be made.

Despite the fact more teams can challenge for a win, F1 still needs an overhaul. With little on track passing, along with a processional line up throughout a given race, F1 is still equivalent to watching paint dry on my living room wall.

Yes, F1 is the pinnacle of racing technology. Unfortunately, all this technology means jack $h*t when it comes to entertaining race fans, who pay a lot of money to see all this technology go around in circles.

Lately, well since last June, Arrows concentrates a lot on criticizing Max while protecting Bernie! I'm curious what might have happened last June in order to trigger such a behavior? :D

I suspect Arrows gets 5% commission on the 50%, don't you? :p :

HaHaHa!!! ioan's got you riled. :p :

I don't trust Briatore much when it comes to change F1, in the end he's just a bussinessman that stated some 20 years ago he's no that much interested in the sport.

But hey! I'm in for any improvements as long as they are not "artificial", ie reverse grids, success ballast and other crap that makes other categories "more interesting"
