Cost cap and double points for the last race. Thoughts?

Stupid, stupid, stupid is what I think. The double points thing is a sure sign of Bernie's dementia, it was right up there with running sprinklers on the track at random. Can't believe that anyone agreed to that at all, but I guess money talks, and for the moment, Bernie has the money. Vettel has come out publicly against it....perhaps others will chime in.

Cost cap....well, too many ways to cheat, I would suggest that there are other ways to control cost (increase minimum weights to obviate the need for hyperexotic materials, reduce aero even further to reduce the fooling around chasing hundredths from aero benefits).

At some point F1 will truly become a circus, it certainly has a few clowns already....

I've already stopped thinking about F1........used to be, I knew when & where every race was & what time it was on the TV Box. I actually looked forward to the F1 weekends. Guess I just slowly lost interest.

if you control costs of F1, it will slowly become a spec series.

the entire point of f1 is to be the best of the best.

They've already done the cost containment thing.

The points rule is being universally panned.

I can't think of a single, significant rule change in the last that hasn't been contrary to the original nature of the sport.

Kill Bernie. Kill him dead. Dead, dead, dead.
