If the FIA had their way the regs would be pretty much what the audience is asking for....... The FIA want to end or seriously limit the aero side of things so it's more about reducing drag than creating downforce. They also want big fat slick tyres........... Bring it on!

I'm in split minds about the FIA making the rules. The Concorde Agreement (as I understand it, and I'm no expert) is based on the participants of the sport. Surely the people in the best position to know how they want to play their game are the participants, no?
I kind of see it like playing Monopoly (and Silverstone's race was about as mind-numbing)....I can play according to the rules printed in the box, but if I actually want to finish playing the game this week, then the players agree to an adaptation to suit them.
But then, on the other hand, the drivers are not necessarily the best people decide what the spectators want to see.
Also, I'm very wary of anything the FIA does. I read an interview with Mosely the other day - he turned up at Silverstone this week, it was the first he'd been to an F1 GP for about six years IIRC.
It's like Sven not turning up to a World Cup final!
