I am a huge fan of Formula 1. That usually gets me some pretty strange looks from guys- a girl tha knows about F1?
PlanetF1 is my homepage. It's been a few days since I've really looked at it, so I decided to read up on it after my interviews were finished today. I was pretty surprised to see a battle brewing over this new winner-takes-all system. But then I saw it was proposed by Bernie Ecclestone and my surpsie vanished. The man likes to think he's a genius.... eh well at least he's good for entertainment. I didn't think anything he did could top Max Mosely's sex scandal but I was wrong.
I feel like this whole winner takes all thing just dumbs down the sport. Half the fun is seeing how mechanical and technical advantage can get you those few extra seconds to get more points. All the FIA big whigs want the teams to be on as equal footing as possible, right? This new system will put even more of a rift between the top manufacturers and the not so top customer teams. I just can't believe that the FIA was all gung-ho about the change. I can't wait until 2010 when the teams duke it out over this ridiculous change. Imagine how that would've played out last year... Hamilton would've gotten 2nd place instead and goodness knows there'd be an uproar about golden boy Hamilton...
