I understand the cost-controlling ban against testing, with the exception of the few approved pre-season sessions. But does it seem a bit ridiculous to hold the 4 (3) new teams from trying stuff out before showing up at a race weekend? Where's the sport in having 6 cars running 3 seconds per lap slower during the race, and not even finishing? Virgin's fuel tanks aren't even large enough to hold sufficient fuel to last a full race distance? Sheesh, maybe an exception to the testing ban could be made this year for the new teams.
