1991? Does seem vaguely familiar now - Am I right in thinking there were complaints from Prost along the lines of "under the old system I'd have won" ?
Should they bring back the 1 point for fastest lap? I've always been against the US idea of points for pole - pole is something that helps you go on to score points - but something for fastest lap would be incentive to the likes of Red Bull and Torro Rosso.
In the GP2 series they give out points for the fastest lap, yes i would like to see that. Back in Bahrain, Nico got the fastest lap but he must have thought he was still in Gp2.
A GP is from the start to the finish - if you're not good enough to get to the end do you deserve points?
If it was introduced and I was boss of Aguri or Spyker I'd qualify with minimum fuel but then opt to start from the pit lane. Give all the other runners a chance to get out of the way, then do a couple of stonking laps on new tyres with an empty tank.
He is not a bad test driver although its different when its a race.
When i was watching the Chinese and Japanese GP, itv kept getting mix up with the Spyker car with the ferrari, just the same thing with the Midland and the Mclaren. They should make the paint job a bit more unique.
The Midland and the McLarens DID look unbelievably similar (on the TV screen at least).
Personally, I think the Spykers and Super Aguris now have two of the nicest looking paint jobs in the field, although the SA looks quite similar to the Toyotas - red and white are the Japanese national colours.
As for test drivers "graduating"
I think it's tempting to think Davidson is going to be fantastic because he sets good times in practise, but Kubica frequently set the fastest overall time in practise, but only qualifies in the high mid-field - although has done brilliantly in the races (well the dry ones).

The FIA wouldn't allow them to have one car in each scheme so they went 50/50 - I wish they hadn't, it looked terrible.
Other than that lots of the older colour schemes were a bit garish - if you see old pictures it's surprising how bad they look. The last five years or so they've looked much beter.
