Of course not! I don't see people get annoyed by Mclaren's or Williams domination. You think it's fun now? Not at all. Last time I get so excited, everyone is capable of getting pole. Now, one lap, and it's over. No more second chances. And even if he gets pole, it could be different fuel strategy. Renault got pole in M'sia, so what? Everyone knows they are on lighter fuel load. And the qualifying sessions are practically useless. It's not even qualifying anymore.

That's why the new rules are there, to attract more audiences like you to watch the 'show'.

Try handicapping Michael Jordan, 2 point shot= 1 point, 3 point shot = 2 point, how's that?

well, f1 was in serous trouble trying to atrract more audeinces.... ratings was dropping especially last season where Ferrari practically dominated to race thus earning most of the prize money... the last teams couldn't get the money needed to compete or mnufacturer more cars thus... spiralling down to death...

well, i'd say share the money equal.... let those last place ones get some money too.. in fact more if possible.... so that they can improve their technology and then compete better....

the top 3 are so rich... it';s like they dun even need the FIA prize money allocations....

That's what you get in life isn't it? Everything is about money.

If ratings goes down, the tv series might even stopped after a season or something. Everything is about audience. They demand you supply. If your supplies are shit, there goes the demand. Life is a shit, don't you think?

And handicapping Michael Jordan? You mean now? Damn! That'll be interesting. He won't even score 5 points then. He's not up there no more my man...

The top3 are so rich. Why? Because it's Ferrari, Mercedez and BMW. They have other things to do besides F1. They sell cars around the world to the rich ppl. 8)

Just incase you don't know, Michael Jordan is the only 40 year old player to score more than 40 points in a game! Michael Jordan was just an example. I'm talking about his prime time, not his retirement!

Anyway, back to the topic. FIA is a screwed up organization, with so many money minded people around. The entry fee is so baldy expensive, that's why there's no new team since the mid 90s, except for Toyota, which is a big organisation and has tons of money to invest.

Dashken: Ferrari is a very small racing company, they were bought over by Fiat during the 60 or 70s, can't remember. They are not rich without the sponsorships they get.

Actually the price money is not that much, the main reason for the spiral down to death is lack of sponsorship for the smaller teams, that's the biggest source of income they get to cover their cost.
