• i can't comprehend having a side mounted standard gear box. at the speeds f1 cars travel you would need to have your hands on the wheel at all times. as for the manual tranny with clutch, if it was paddle shift it would be cool.
  
• a single type of brake? you have to be joking
  
  
• a single tyre manufacturer, they should be adding manufacturers if anything
  

I stand by the current gearing system. Nothing wrong with it, no need for a clutch peddal and no need to change it to standard gear stick. Distracts a driver and as Bman says the driver needs his hands on the wheel at all times. What alot of people dont get about formula 1, is just how fast these things take corners. And just how sensitive they are. Ironically i read somewhere that many people in the FIA survey answered they loved F1 because of its technology and innovations. How is sending the cars back 12 years catering to the fans? All they need to do, is fiddle with the aerodynamics a little. Because by the end of 2008, 2.5L V8's or not the engineers will have those things going round corners almost as fast as they are now, and it'll be more dangerous thanks to these new regs. It always seems like they rush them in without ever putting them to the test. Why not get a team, BMW Ferrari or Mclaren for instance to build a car to those specs, and have the test driver take it out for 1000 miles before 2008. See what the results are then decide.
