the 18,000 rpm limit makes no sense and negates any point to the power boost of the KERS system. Too often overtakes this season were not possible because the car following hit the limit and ran out of revs.

Hooray! No more refuelling from 2010.

All sounds reasonably sensible. 18,000 may be a limit, but whether engines will last four races if teams crank them up to that is another matter of course.

Don't like the idea of shortening the races though. We'll have a sprint and feature race next... Is shortening them really going to save much money? I know people will say it costs "

It's transitional..F1 will keep it's place at the pinnacle of motorsport.. at the moment the world is in financial meltdown, F1 has to follow suit unfortunately. Give it a couple of years and normal service will be resumed.  ;)

Or until the Max & Bernie show is booted out..

I was reading this in the German press today and they mentioned that teams would be limited to 250 people. Wonder how that would work, a register of employees. After all McLaren for example is more than just an F1 team.
Also "Factory activity....Factory closures for six weeks per year, to accord with local laws". Local laws, so all British teams will have to close and all continental teams will be able to carry on as normal then
