I hate the new tire rule in F1. Hate it, hate it, hate it. In Australia, it manifested itself as a 67-lap parade of fast (in theory) cars. In Malaysia, the rule reared its ugly head when Giancarlo Fisicella tried to outbrake Mark Webber on a greasy corner with dead tires and took my boy out.

Also? I hate the friggin' new engine rule. Seriously, which is cheaper? Rebuilding the same engine and ordering parts in bulk, or having to engineer an engine that can last for two full race cycles? I seriously think this is meant to drive out Minardi, the little fish in the F1 pond.

Still, the checkered flag didn't drop for a red car, so I'm happy.
