God, the new cars are going to look absolutely ridiculous with the narrow rear wings

Default Yeah. While the new front wings aren't nearly as attractive, they aren't stupid looking either...

But those up high narrow rear wings are totally stupid looking.

Default At the end of the first lap at each race how many of these will be replaced?

Have the rocket-scientists at the FIA ever paid attention to a GP2 race? The races with all the passing and close racing action? Go back to ground effects, ditch the computer suspensions and all these stupid aero devices...it's not that hard to figure out.

Default just wait until they have to run around w/ topped of tanks...

looks like a "ban" on in race refueling is coming in 2010.

As is a ban on tire warmers.

Default 100% agree...too bad

the other changes will pretty much screw the benefit of those two changes.
