    And a hope that the FIA does as much as possible codify the rules to
    reduce to a minimum the confusion that has been too often apparent this
    past year in F1.

    (Lots of wiggle room in that thought because, as we all know, there is
    no way to completely eliminate all "interpretation" on the part of the stewards, the Race Director, the scrutineers, and other officials.)

    " Over over bar the shouting" as they say.

    Should be good next season, with cars that can hopefully follow overtake.

    And maybe an audit of the rules, and clarification of who can do what
    with respect of them.

    Thanks Martin, and to you too. I'm pleased the break came after Yas Marina as I'm not very
    enamoured of F1 at the moment. I prefer my excitement to come from racing within a rule set, not
    from race directors making up the rules as they go along.

    Cheers,
