What a way to ruin everything
. The best winter of anticipation we've ever had (well, that I can remember) and now we get this! It's not even April 1st yet! I am completely disapointed beyond words, I really am
.
It's not like this system is going to help the racing either, because when was the last time you actually saw Lewis Hamilton or Felipe Massa thinking "you know what? i'm comfortable here, who needs those extra points anyway?" . If a driver is in a situation where he could get himself more points then he's going to go for it, regardless of whatever kind of stupid system is in place!!! That's what they get paid mega money to do. I just can't get my head around how people think this will honestly make a difference to things. Turkey 08 for example. It's not as if hamilton wasnt trying to win, he was going all out to get the best he could get. Yet with this new system, Massa would be given an unfair advantage because, as much emphasis and motivation would be placed on winning, Hamilton simply wasn't fast enough.
All this is going to do is confuse the casual viewer and be a turn off for them. It looked so good with the unpredictability, the closeness of the times, the new rules and regulations. The prospect of overtaking and everything that's positive has now, imo, been ruined by the thought of this crappy new system.
Bollocks to the lot of them!
