    More "politically correct" than having cars circulate for no other reason than to burn fuel. Here they are accomplishing something.

    I must say last years qualifying final minutes were the most exciting spectacle in motor racing.

    Wonder if we'll see the last min. qualifying excitement of the old days. Of course it won't be the same with out Senna.

    The announcement that I saw said nothing about to changes in the Parc-Ferme system. This would imply that there's still no refeuling before the race. Or did I miss something?

    I agree with you 110%! The last little bit with Hamilton, Fred, Kimi, and Phil coming across the line after time expired was almost too hard to watch. Of the whole season I can remember jumping up off my couch with excitement when the Ferrari's would clinch pole seconds after the McLarens flew past the line.
