Don, I think you can see that I completely agree. Bernie has never given two shits for a fan outside of whatever money he can milk out of them through a track owner. The FIA has their collective heads so far up their asses that they cannot see what this rigidity is doing and has done. I am a long time fan of virtually all forms of racing and my love for the drivers and teams of F1 over the years is not diminished by this mess. How can you diminish the legend of a Fangio or Moss or Clark or Stewart?

But I follow NASCAR as well and for all of their "make it up as you go along" rules, the fans have always come first and they would never have allowed this to happen.

BTW, with only 6 cars racing(?), Schumacher needed his ass kicked for that move on poor Barrichello coming out of the pits. Yet another reason why Schumi couldn't lick Jimmy Clark's shoes,
