Nitro , nice to see you back .
I've missed your input .

I think the new formula worked , as it allowed many more close battles .

I think many of the teams will be working hardest on the budgetary issues more than anything , as it seemed to me that that was what hobbled the competition near the end of the year .
Wadding up the car hurts financially enough to lose a guy a drive , as Mick can testify .

It's a different world .

But , at the same time , it's just the same as it's always been , with some getting it wrong at first , and learning along the way , in full view of the public .
"You've got tame the porpoise before you can teach it to go fast ." is an old saying that was coined just this year .

It'll be closer next year , and every year until they change it again .

I still hope for a few changes , though .
Dump the tire warmers .
Dump the DRS .
Never remove any back markers under the safety car .
