That was a highly entertaining race. They should change the rules more often! Great drive from Button, although it would have gotten very close down to end had Kubica kept it together. That left me a little ambivalent about the tire regulations. Sure it added most of the excitement to this race, it just does not seem very Formula 1 to force teams to drive on inferior rubber.
What I certainly did not enjoy was the KERS and the way it has been incorporated. It is basically a push-to-pass button with a fancy name. Push-to-pass is too much of an artificial gimmick to be included in Formula 1. Additionally I have been told that the systems are far from safe. My insider friend has great concerns about the safety of the crews, drivers and also corner workers after an accident. The FIA does not seem to be worried about a 605 kg machine carrying high voltage devices and rather toxic batteries (in the case of the teams that actually use batteries unlike BMW).
If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
