Once again a procession

As the Sepang circuit seems unanimously considered a great track with plenty of space to overtake how come that once again no great overtaking took place. Wouldn't it be time to find a solution for reducing the turbulence behind the car for instance?????????

How long do we have to keep posing the same question?

I think once CART gets wider exposure next year it will force F1's hand.

Max and Bernie can't be blind. Other than the fact that they're still making BIG money, why are they so reluctant to frame rules that could actually lead to RACING?

Belive it or not but Mosley thinks that people do not watck bike racing as there is too much overtaking and it gets confusing!

There is only one person who is confused IMHO!

Because they cant. Of course they're not blind (one point, Bernie is in charge with cashing the money, he has no business whatsoever in regulations), but it's not easy to make changes. It's not a computer game, test something then reload a previously saved game and try something else. Besides, I think that the car makers accepted some grooves on their tyres (Goodyear was not exactly happy though) and a narrower chassis in '98, but what do you think their opinion will be regarding to "cut the wings, bring back turbo's and CART regulations"? Allow them at least 3 years to be happy with a stable set of rules. It's Formula 1, it has a 51 years of experience... nobody can change that until tomorrow.
