1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I'm quite happy with more races.
Shorter winter, if we cant have testing then they may as well be out on track racing.
No reason the European races cant be back to back more often. These guys even the mechanics, are paid a very nice living, it's about time they came out of their offices and earned it.
Nascar manage some 30 odd races a year often going back to back across the country, all the while doing far more interaction with the public than an F1 driver ever has to, so I see no reason at all for them not to do a few more races.

When is it too much?  When they have to put chains on the tires for snow because they have run  out of nations for GP's and need to run the Grand Prix of Antarctica ;D
