RE: Bloody Ferrari/Shitemacher...
This is payback for all those years spent sitting in front of the TV watching my beloved Ferraris blow up, sputter out, or just plain circulate in Minardi territory
Seriously.. Back in the day McLaren won 14 of 16 one season. Williams had it's straglehold in the '90s. I'll tell you what the big difference is: it's the tire war. Bridgestone/Ferrari have the advantage of really building tires specifically to Ferrari's liking, and most of the speed advantages gained year after year have come as the result of the tire war. If you take the Ferraris out of it, it's been a pretty damn good season with Williams, McLaren, and occasionally Renault, Sauber, and Jordan looking decent.
This bit about making the engines last a whole race weekend should throw a nice kink into it all
If you lot want close F1 style racing look no further than CART. Next season it'll be a spec series, not that it really wasn't in the past with only 2-3 manufacturers.. But the racing will be tremendous if the teams don't all leave
