Kimi will never accept the fact that he has to wait at least another 2 years before getting the title. He will be eager to go to Renault.

He's already been waiting four years at McLaren.

F1 being as boring as its becoming, with only overtakes on pit stops, Kim + Alonso on same team sure to make F1 fun again.

Canada had plenty of on track passing for position, well, at least a hell of a lot more than other races as of late. After Silverstone I was ready to just call it quits, but the Canadian GP rekindled my interest. There is hope!

Get rid of the driving aids and put the cars back in the driver's hands first and foremost. I'm tired of seeing the 'TC' icon flashing for 3/4 of the lap.

I would also love to see a lot of the aero work removed so as to allow closer racing without destroying the rear car's aerodynamics. Let them get right up to eachother and race their asses off.

To compensate for the lack of aero, bring back slicks. I want more emphasis on mechanical grip rather than billions of dollars of aero work. Mechanical grip allows better racing, aero grip just fucks up things for other cars and makes them stay back so they can actually get grip.

I could go on for quite a while with things I'd like to change, but I'll leave it at that since it's totally off topic lol.

Bah, traction control pisses me off to no end. GP2 doesn't use it and it's for the better. Seeing the drivers actually having to fight for control rather than just jamming the pedal to the floor is a lot better to watch IMO.

Problem is with TC and other electronic aids that when they make it illegal, teams will still develop stuff like that, but hide it for the FIA making it virtually untracable at regular checks.
