I agree with Bernie entirely here:
That's the issue F1 has to resolve. Fiddling around with tyres, pit stops, points etc etc do nothing to alter the fact that the cars can't race closely together.Quote:
Ecclestone said: ‘It is basically the same problem we have had for the last few years, with cars not being able to get close to the one in front to create more overtaking.
Even Mark Webber is snoozing off...and I totally agree

F1 need to get back racing on the track again.
In my opinion the fueling ban is the way to go, but the variety of tires need to be better to give the teams flex to make the stragegy. Maybe 4 different compounds from super soft to hard. Where you could go the full race distance on hard tires. Cut the two way radio comms, and leve the planning to the driver. Then the brains of Alain Prost would have to start working again !
Many times in the last few years the GP2 races have been more fun to watch, and that is not how it should be.
The difference btw the teams is too big, and that makes a bad starting point for an exiting race.
FIA need to give much less engineering freedom for the teams, so they even out.
Standard front and rear wings, standard diffuser, that all are made to improve the possibility to do close racing.
The tracks also need to be improved to give option for overtaking. Sack Tilke and use drivers or Ex drivers to design them !
Make F1 cars 2,0 meters wide again, so they look as the top class !

Personally, I can't wait for BTCC 2010!
Are pitstops limited to one a race?
Ummm....isn't that their job, Bernie?Quote:

That is what the FIA have been doing! Or working towards. A field of evenly matched cars means there is likely to be less overtaking.Quote:
