Where I want to see changes made is with all that *** sticking out

blinky washer nozzles and fake hood scoops held on with m tape.

Give the cars a functional, aerodynamic shape with a front wing and a
back wing and knock all the other *** off, every last bit of it. And
if need be, mandate a common spec aero package.

Hallelujah! I'm with you, old guy! The current cars are an abomination
- the ugliest racing cars in the history of racing. Martin Brundle had
a drive of his old Benetton in the last ITV race weekend coverage and
it was a delight to admire with its clean lines and none of the now
obligatory monstrous knobs and excrescences.

But don't the 2009 regs include something that bans all that ***
anyway? Pardon me if that's already been discussed - I'm rather late
to this thread...
