    This is f***ing stupid: http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/formula-1-f1-award-double-points-final-race-182935266--f1.html
    Double points for winning the last race? So the person who deserves to win the championship might end up not doing so, just because they want to keep people watching and the money coming in. It's no longer a sport, it's just a business.

      Editing … I won't ever rate him as a driver until he tries with a car that isn't the best by miles. F1 is now like 500GP racing in the late 90's, you know who's going to win so why bother watching? Superbikes got massive because of just that reason, close exciting racing is what spectators want to see, I hope another car racing series with some excitement can step up and take the place of F1 too. A silly little rule isn't going to make up for the other 9 months of boringness. I blame all the other previous rules they made to try making it more exciting, they should just strip it all back and let the drivers talents shine.

Imagine the shame if that team lost to Palace at home... ;) If one team lost, home and away, to Palace in a single season that should mean automatic relegation. I've got tickets for the Hull game at Selhurst (Only cos I wanted the United game and they force you into buying category B tickets as well, choice of Hull/West Brom) Betting we'll keep a clean sheet against you over both games! And yeah those F1 rules are bullshit, no ones really willing to speak about it so we've got no idea whether it's happening, I reckon probably not because its had so much opposition from people within the... sport, whether their opinion makes any difference we shall see. Maybe there will be talks (again) of the big manufacturers forming a breakaway series to rival F1, that seems to happen every 5 years!
