Getting tired of the changes. Just leave it be.

They have full fuel tanks, well if they want more entertainment, just make them run the same tires for the whole race...

tired of all the changes, thou change is the only constant in life

I can live with smart changes, even some thoughtful trials. But not the gimmicky ones.

Reverse grid simply means that Logan Sargeant will be passed 19 more times in a race. Nothing more. Why punish teams and individual drivers who are performing. They need to do things to allow all teams to improve their performance. Lifting the cost cap would be one.

The cost cap as it stands, makes no sense. Nor does limiting wind tunnel time. You muffed up this year's car (talking to you, Toto) because you spent all of your money going down the wrong rabbit hole last winter, and you were too high in the previous year's placings to test it sufficiently. So you're stuck with a POS for the year. And forget about trying to fix something unexpected like porpoising. If you come up with a solution, someone will only find it to be illegal so your drivers can just get their teeth rattled out of their heads for half the season.

Meanwhile, if the driver truly represents 50% of the success equation, why is there no salary cap on them? The current cost cap excludes drivers and key team staff, which seems dumb to me.
