    Yes we do...but North America doesn't count any more, no USA F1, no Canada.

    It gets absurd sometimes. I can remember in so many races with 6 or 7 laps to go they would take a commercial break. Honestly, show the last 10 minutes.. it's not that difficult.

    I like most of what I see, but I think shortening the races would be wrong.
    If there is more time for racing, which I enjoy watching, and more time for something to go wrong, which laymen love to see, everybody wins.

    I even like what they have done this year and these new rules are (in most aspects) taking them forward and improving. making the cars less aerodynamic is something i have been screaming about ever since they moved the front wing up several years ago. that and the intro of all the extra rubbish on the sides/top/wherever they could find a spot on the car to slap a piece of carbon fibre which makes the cars go fantastically well when they are by themselves or in the safety of the wind tunnel, but as soon as these aerodynamic "advantages" hit any form of turbulent air they understeer (due to the front wing) and handle like a dog (comparative to the god like handling the drivers are used to in testing due to the "stuff" on the outside)

    these new rules will help F1. the new rules for this year have been monumental and will encourage closer more talented driving and next year will be better.

    Is there any more word on engines for next year and beyond? This is one of the rules i am worried about, a blanket engine would stifle development more than what's happening (or lack there of) now.
