Racing being down to just the driver is not the concern though, because F1 has always been about the car too.

Polls are usually "flawed" as someone might come almost always with a different alternative or option.
Anyway, the 4th option for you, sums up what you think of the "F1 2012 style", so no worries.

I auppose it follows less what someone else said if you pick the 5th option in that it's less specific, but I was mainly making the point that for me the 'real racing' argument is too complicated to untangle. In my opinion it's not self-explained, unless it means 'without the current tyre situation'.
Getting away from the poll options specifically, my feeling is that the complaints from some quarters about the emphasis on tyres is missing the point that this is just a new big factor in car design and that at some point this season, teams will understand much better what's going on and things will stabilise a bit. The races will then be less exciting and people can go back to compaining about that.
