It's almost as if Bernie is purposely trying to ruin F1.

There was so much fail in that article and it's very concerning that the guy coming out with this is in charge of F1.
Adding Singapore, the only difference is Alonso and Webber are tying.
Let's see the points system positions then.
1. Webber
2. Alonso
3. Hamilton
4. Vettel
5. Button

Yep, let's just forget the fact that the gap between 1st and 5th is 21 points, less than the points offered for a win. As we found out today, unexpected situations, like Hamilton's incident with Webber today, can throw somebody down a couple of places in the championship. Alonso was 5th a few weeks ago. A couple of wins later, he's now 2nd, 11 points behind Webber. He claims this points system is not making the sport exciting. I started watching F1 this year, because the sport was being particularly exciting (better than the touring cars, which I think is worse this year).
Bernie, you've got every right to think you know what's right for the sport, so please feel free to keep those ideas to yourself.
Along with Rubens, Eddie is the lastest MS team mate to have a few words.
Accoring to Eddie MS was never good at car development which is why Ferrari needed 2 test drivers and loads of testing. His understanding of a car is meant to be poor when it comes to sorting out where problems are. The main skill MS had was being able to drive fast and around problems like he did in 1996 and 1997.
As Eddie said people thought Massa had improved when he was getting ahead of MS but infact it was just MS not being the best anymore and losing his skill due to age.
In other words MS is past it and his come back is a failure.
It was funny what Eddie had to say tbh seeing that in his time at Ferrari he was never on the pace of MS once. Even when the Ferrari was the best car Eddie was always behind in the race and on the grid.

Really pleased about this, Sergio is an awesome driver who in my opinion has been more impressive than Pastor Maldonado who won the title.

Having seen Sergio race with Jaime Alguersuari in British F3 a few years ago, i'd definitely say Sergio is the quicker driver, if a bit more unpredictable. Jaime was usually solid but rather unimpressive speed-wise. He's more of a talent than Pastor Maldonado too, its taken Pastor 3 and a half years to get to the point of winning GP2, Sergio's been there 2 years and has looked impressively quick in both seasons.
It'll be good to see Pastor get a drive in F1, he's stuck at it, but he's really only going to get it because of financial backing (mind you, its a big factor in Sergio's drive too), and it'd be a massive shame to see Nico Hulkenberg lose his drive, because he genuinely is quick. He's not had the most impressive of seasons, but he's usually kept up with Rubens, which is a feat in itself.

Will be a total joke if Hulk is replaced by Maldonado imo, he's just started to show some real pace and when they were team mates in 2009 Hulkenberg completely blew Pastor away, Nico won the title and Pastor only finished fifth and they were with ART who are in my opinion the best team in GP2. I'd like to see him get a go at F1 though.
