A worrying development? or just the FIA playing games as
usual...is this the hand of Red Bull in the back ground?

Once again it's the FIA trying to keep the championship going to
the end of the year. F1 has suffered it's lowest turnout and
ratings this year for a long, long time. Not since 1986 has it
been so bad.
Frankly, the V6 was a very, very bad idea. Add to that the fact
that most races take place when the VAST majority of F1 fans are
asleep, and you just can't sell the sport anymore. Sure, Bernie
gets his fee from all the communist/dictator/oil sheiks, but
they in turn don't get a thing out of it other than their own
yes men patting them on the back.
That's the biggest problem right there. I used to never miss a
race. Now, it's actually quite rare that I see one.

I'm going to Germany for the race, sitting in the Mercedes
stand, with 2 Ferrari fans and a Mercedes fan...can't wait. Will
cheer for the McLarens and Hamilton...:-)

They still have F1? Wasn't aware of it. I thought it was
replaced by a V6 spec series of overpaid drama queens.

Well, you have a point. It's quite rare these days that there's
a race on you can watch, or any news worth reading. The sport is
just dead. Most of the forums are gone now too.
Nobody gives a damn anymore.
