I agree with a lot of your saying there apart from th weight penalties...I don't want the best driver in the best car penalised just because they are the best and winning...it is up to the other teams and drivers to beat the best...for me it is what F1 is about...the pinnacle of motor racing...and weights in the cars would takeaway from this.
I have enjoyed this season as we have seen some great racing and Schumacher and Ferrari have shiowed just how good they are...now all i want is for him to have a team mate that can push him hard!! I have never and will never think Barichello is a great driver...although he is very consistent.
