Why?
Brawn is a genius!
He even asked if he is right about the rules before designing the car.

I will keep it short and simple.
1) Kubica is an idiot.
2) Cars are ugly, sorry gave them a chance.

All you anti-Kubica boys can rant as long as you want. IMHO and FIA's also Vettel was the one that made the mistake, he is the one that got punished for it and like it wasn't enough he admitted it. So go right ahead if you're big ego won't give you peace and call Kubica or any other driver idiot.
PS: Some people even said it doesn't matter what FIA decided, it doesn't matter what were the reactions of the two drivers, all that matters is what i saw and i am right! Siiiiiiishhhhhhhh!

Yeah, i agree, they completely tossed everything that all the teams have learned over the past couple of years, threw in a ugly front wing and a DAMN ugly back wing and that's it.
The cars are way slower than last year, just let the teams decide for themselves what to do to the cars (except for some basic rules like limiting the engine power, wouldn't be much of a race if McLaren and Ferrari are running in the 1000+ hp range and the less sponsored teams were running in the 800hp range).
I'm still looking forward to my weekend at the Nurnburgring though

How the hell do we expect a driver in a f1 car to drive as if he was sitting for a driving test. Thats just BS. Let them race and work for it. There is no need for electronic gears and all that crap. Just build a car to have mechanical grip and brakes that overheat.
That will allow the brave to brake late and there can be overtaking. Ban all that high tech brake materials. This is not le Mans 24hrs. Limit the max bhp, and wings. All they can do is play around with the car design for low gravity and driver feedback. Then in an instant, F1 will have tighter racing. Just look at the clip here. Thats what F1 was all about and we only need to look at those cars to know what makes exciting races and what dulls it.
Is F1 2009 as exciting as that. NOPE!!!

So much for Hamilton's P3! 
Good to see that Trulli gets to keep it.
It also sounds like Vettel's penalty may also be overturned.

Alonso said yesterday that the world championship will be decided in Paris on 14 April. He may be right!
Scuderia Ferrari on the other hand, are now going to spend an extra 20 million Euros to build new cars for Massa and R?ikk?nen, using this "super diffuser" solution. So much for the FIA's ideas to cut spending.
