for cost saving
they could just reduce the teams to one car
instead of having these team processions
and not being allowed to pass the "not clear" number 1 driver

Employ random backmarkers from GP2 for filler, have Maldonado deliver the silly DNF every race
and yer set for a lot cheaper season!

I think there is some trouble coming at Mercedes, Lauda called the decision to keep Hamilton ahead basically bullshit on german TV and pulls mercedes boss Toto Wolff in front of the camera to explain this.

Rosberg was allowed to race until around 5 or 6 laps to go, maybe they should have let him through but it was nothing like what went on at RB today.

the PR mask of Vettle slips off again, Just because he is a triple world champion does not mean the tea should stand for this, I mean it was the team that made him. If he did nt win that race in 2008 in Monza he would have been like Bumi and the others at Toro rosso handed a P45 and given marching orders. And as for Marko Helmut he should be spending more time at torro rosso as head of the young drivers program than with Vettle.

Webber against the world again in China? This stuff usually brings out the best in him

I really don't like this poor man's Formula 1. Saving fuel, saving tires, the teams spend a million dollars finding 2 points of downforce and have to drive on paper tires. However I didn't much like the 10 000-mile, no-graining Brigestones either. In fact the last time I liked the tire situation was back in 06.

Maybe we could get refuelling back combined with Pzeros. That could be cool.

Rosberg should have been allowed to pass. I would assume they started on similar fuel load, and if Lewis is so bad at managing that he ends up with fumes and Rosberg right behind him with lots of racing left he does not deserve the podium.

They under fueled both cars apparently and Rosberg also had the fuel problem according to Ross Brawn, the saving tyres isn't really about lack of money its because pitstops take 20 seconds and you cant afford time wise to keep pitting.

What a arse you are Vettel. Finally I don't like him anymore. Webber doesn't accept his apology which is just as well because it was a complete lie!
