Miffed at the fact that the FIA is prepared to go the distance on the 2010 issue, FOTA has aligned with the ACEA (a honorary body, without legal effect) to plead it's unteneable case. Bring on more new teams and let the carmakers blow their wads on useless charades in futility, much like what F1 has become with them involved.  Those in the know, will know that car manufacturers are best suited as engine suppliers rather than dragging in their complicated businesses and making their problems F1's problems as well. It is a simple sport, put a car on the track and race it. All else is corporate egotism and engineering madness run amock. Go Max go!!

Vettel's second win in awful conditions and Red Bull Sr.'s first 1-2 with Webber runner up, put a nice touch on what was a nasty week all around, with Ron Dennis stepping away, Flavio blasting Brawn, Kers systems being removed, and Bridgestone being slated for tyres that don't allow the drivers to drive. As if there wasn't enough to worry about in the top flight. Vettel, though, drove a great race, as is becoming his custom, in the appalling conditions, yet behind him it was fairly boring, well, with a safety car start, totally necessary of course, yet dull nonetheless.  A few crashes here and there and cars going off, coming back on, makes us wait for Bahrain and the sunshine, and hopefully no sand on the track to create another race of improperly set-up cars slip sliding away.
