garypen (U10164229) posted Oct 26, 2007 Great to have 18 races in a season and let's hope its as competitive as this last season. However, where's the logic in freezing engine development for 10 years. For a sport supposedly at the pinnacle, is that not a backward step. F1 should be a nurturing ground for new technologies which can be used in the motoring industry in general.
