Plus it's Texas, not Kalifornia. So they shouldn't have enviro-nazis challenging them at every step.

I hope so ! The US needs a dedicated F1 track, Indy couldn't pay enough F1 fans to attend.

F1 is changing for the worse....sad but true.

Not sure I agree with this.

We had a great world championship last year and now we have three - maybe four with Lotus - real contenders.

This season is turning out to be great as well.

As long as the ditch the new engine rules all will be alright.

I agree last year was exciting, Alonso losing the championship in the last race to Vettel.

But Bernie/FIA isn't making the sport any better. Isn't this the pinnacle of racing, where innovation, engineering and development is at the highest level.

TESTING - How can you restrict testing to barely 1 month. To accommodate the budget of less funded teams.

Adjustable rear wings - If your going to implement something why would you restrict it's usage on the track and which cars that are allowed to use it. Help the slower car....bla bla bla

KERS - All cars should have it or No cars

107% qualifying rule - New comers will always be at the bottom, yes it takes years to develop a team to be competitive but this is a joke those teams should be in F2.

Tyres - Bring back the tyre wars, that was exciting.

Everything always comes down to $$$$$$$$ !!! I love the sport but some of the rule changes are ridiculous.

T1 should be pretty good, I want to be at the T10 "jump".

There's a dozen things that need to change to make F1 an interesting sport again. The (stupid) engine rules are a relatively minor issue compared to some of the others. F1 has been in death rattle stage for some time, remains to be seen whether it survives. My biggest fear is with the overall mindset behind the series-- appease the tards, hand-wring about safety until everyone is driving a 50 mph marshmallow, etc, etc.
