    The last paragraph of page 2 quotes Anderson as saying:

    “Really and truthfully, there has to be a change. What we have to do is create racing. In my opinion we should have reverse grids; the guy leading the championship should have to start at the back, and the guy who is suffering at the front, and as you score more points that naturally will change. It isn't artificial. If you can win the championship that way it will truly be because you have beaten all the others. Not only do you have to be the fastest driver but you also need to be a clever driver; you have to understand the strategy and actually overtake people. It adds another challenge."
    Forza Ferrari!!

    Reverse grids do not address the real problem that prevents overtaking.

    When the FIA address the issue of aerodynamics then we might see genuine, non-artificial overtaking. Until then ideas like reverse grids will continue to be suggested, and even adopted, if we're not careful.

    We've had changes to tyres, engines, qualifying, pit stops etc etc. All designed to improve the quality of the racing and...nothing. No improvements.

    Max. Fix aero. Teams are spending $m's in the wind tunnel to produce more aero stick on bits that make the cars butt ugly and decrease what slim chance there is of us seeing genuine overtaking (as opposed to pit overtaking).

    Ok, now I've learned there was a page 2

    You can't make a person love another person. You can only pray for it.

    Stupid rules => stupid consequences :s

    Exactly Arrows. The McLarens and Ferraris are no more going to be able to pass each other at the back of the grid than they are at the front.
    Forza Ferrari!!
