I see the mandatory two stop rule in the same light as the infamous NASCAR end of race "debris" caution. A desperate attempt to artificially induce some "excitement" for the once a year viewer who knows next to nothing about F1.

I love what Williams did. Big middle finger to the race officials who absolutely ignored the pleadings of each and every team to not do this. They did anyway, and Williams gave them exactly what they deserved. Not that that once a year fan would have known the difference anyway, and not that it detracted anything from the dedicated fans' expectations for Monaco.

What a quandary, though. What to do about Monaco... Maybe put them all in their childhood go karts and let them race those for just that one race? It would certainly be more exciting.
