No doubt about it the teams have caught up or come close, to the F2002. But the rules are helping put previously mid-pack runners on the front grid. Which is causing some Front runners to be mid-pack. The was the intent of the new rules about not able to fuel after Qualifying.

I like the new rules a lot. However the fact, that MS is behind has less to do with the new rules and a lot more with him making mistakes. Maybe the stewards are eager to black flag him, but in both races it was him who started the problem.

The tighter grid IMHO has less to do with the new rules and a lot more with other teams catching up and the Michelins having made big progress.

Once the dust settles and the new Ferrari will be out, we'll see the same 1-2 procession races again. But it is nice to know, that the season will in all likelihood last past the French GP.

I have to admit that, although we�ve had McLaren win both races this year and Wiliiams and Renault pretty close to Ferrari, this is only attributed to the new rules. The F2002 is still the best car on the grid. But with that said I like and welcome the new rules. It�s nice to see a Renault on the podium, or a Jordan fight a Williams for 3rd/4th place.
