In the news today ahead of the Melbourne Gp today, all teams other than Bernie Ecclestone's Honda have been demoted 10 grid spots.I cant see how Bernie can invest in a team in this day and age, it would be dubious as hell imo (not to mention I wouldnt like to know he of all people is behind the scenes making critical decisions
I'm absolutely certain that McLaren got slapped down the way they did for the simple fact that they got caught rather than the 'crime' they committed in the first place. I'm sure sunama doesn't agree (after all, it's just yet another example to him of how Ferrari International Assistance operates), but that argument is probably best left in the locked threads from last season....[/SIZE]

Anyone attempting to overtake will be accused of jumping corners and driving too aggressively and then forced to take a stop go.

I would liken some of the people here, and an increasingly large percentage of F1 fans in this country, to football fans who aren't fans for the actual football, just for the drunken ****ing about and fights.
They have no clue how the sport actually works, who does what, what does what... it just allows them to have arguments and try to make it seem like they know what they are talking about.
I just have to wonder, given some of the stuff that gets tossed around. It honestly seems like some of you think Bernie is complete and utter scum.
