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.

Been thinking overnight ... this is only going to get worse next season.

With the rule changes that are due to come in next year reducing the aerodynamic effects and having the engines all the same, this will allow the cars to get closer ie. bring more overtaking opportunities.

This will obviously bring more opportunities for the stewards to rule on close shaves and racing incidents as the cars jostle for position on track.

Well some are saying that all the rules are likely to spread the field out again next year, and for a few years possibly. The likely contenders being the usual Ferrari, Mclaren BMW and maybe renault. But the midfield is unlikely to be seperated by just a few tenths and more like the old days of a second or more.
