Tailwind should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Getting rid of the mandatory pit windows and fuel enrichment switches is a plus in my book. I don't like rules that restrict the driver from racing and promotes economizing fuel. To me it's not racing when a driver is watching his fuel gauge to try and stretch out the laps he will get from a tank of fuel. That sounds more like what I do when I'm on a long trip and I try to get the most out of my tank to reach the next gas station. That's why I drive an economy car back and forth to work. That, believe me, is not exciting. I know that I'm over simplifying things a bit. I want to see racers drive flat out against each other. Getting rid of the fuel limit this year was one of the best moves I've seen to enhance the competition and excitment. Racing is about racing not economizing.
