Let's see how easy it is to pass the front-runners on a dry circuit Lewis.

Thank goodness its become a pity the way they regulate these guys thats why I only watch MOTOGP now I was an avid F1 fan but the governing body of F1 interferes so much in the actual racing its absurd...as they say racing is rubbing go out there and race ....thats what we want to see.

I think it's great that the stewards have backed off a bit. I'd say the racing has been pretty fair so far this season compared to some of the last few years.

I'd rather the race be defined by tight, wheel-to-wheel racing that keeps me on the edge of my seat, than have the results affected by penalty after penalty for what ought to be considered exciting racing.

For a while - especially in 2007-2008 - it seemed like no race was actually "finished" until you waited a couple of hours to see if the stewards were going to steal a victory from someone through a penalty.

It got to where the stewards were deciding races and thus the championship.

That just can't happen.
