It's always hard when there are new regulations to build a new car that is good enough to compete. Additionally since Michelin pulled out only the teams that were with Bridgestone before know how to use the tyres, so there's a steep learning curve for all the other teams who are running them for the first time. Even McClaren are struggling to get to grips with them.

I'd take away most of the driver aids i.e. traction control and make them use a manual gear box - clutch and all as well as drop refuelling. I like the idea of having to use both tyre compounds though.

Cheers for the information SB

I think f1 could take a look at moto gp to see how quicker races with more overtaking are gonna thrill more people.

Something like the Touring Cars with two races could possibly work too.

I'm really a Raikkonen fan myself, but I must admit that what Hamilton's done so far (leading the WC after his first four GPs ) is just amazing...! I think he's extremely talented and he seems like a very nice guy too :)
I'm still hoping for Kimi to take the title this year, but Hamilton will no doubt get the title within 5 years (and most likely a long time before 5 years have passed ;) )

EDIT:
Oh, and I must say that I am thoroughly enjoying how Hamilton is placing Alonso in the shade
Alonso appears to me as a whining mamas-boy and I honestly don't like him anymore.
In todays broadcast Massa and Hamilton were good sportsmen congratulating each other before they went on the podium, while Alonso was pouting and didn't even congratulate or acknowledge his own teammate...

I've got to say, I really don't like raikkonen...I thought Hakkinen was boring!
This lad has an attitude problem and he doesn't deserve his place at ferrari.
Well done to Lewis, another good drive today...shame he always lacked the pace of massa.
Massa is well impressive...also as much as I dislike coulthard, he did good too.
