Now both Heidfeld and Fisi failed to finish this race for Heidfeld this was the second race on that engine but he failed to finish so should get a penalty for the next race as should Fisi but how can they get a penalty when neither BAR did ?
A1 looks good but I which they had gone for less aero on the cars and wider slicks then could have sent out a real message to F1 on how racing can be

I don't have any answers, but you've raised some good points - in fact it seems ridiculous to me that we are discussing stuff like this, rather than the relative merits of the cars/drivers. It is ironic that these rule changes were supposed to help the smaller teams keep down costs, wheras it has just added more complication to an already overcomplicated sport.
Having said that - Sundays race was one of the most interesting for ages, lets hope it continues now the series moves to the European circuits
