Bernie likes stirring. And he's a bit of an idiot .

Very, very true.

sometimes I wonder if he has finally lost the plot altogether then I remember it Bernie - he lost touch with reality years ago

The sprinkler lark confirmed that. Ludicrous idea.

That seems like the least worrying theory. The more I hear about Bernie, the more I despise him.

[What's Burning?]

I don't despise the guy, but retirement is loudly bangin' on the door and maybe he can't hear it because he's at the other end of the 19 room apartment in London and he can't hear it.

Plus being 100 years old and hard of hearing doesn't help.

Wait,wait, a news about Bernie that doesn't include the word ''money''??Maybe he is thinking of Alonso and Hamilton as teammates in Ferrari,which will interest people. Well,anyway I can't think Lewis in another team but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be good.But not in close future,I think.

News about Lewis. Lots of interest. More money for Bernie.

No it wasn't. The theory behind sprinklers weas sound and it would help make a boring race a bit more interesting. However, sprinklers would have a been a bit too artificial - just like DRS.

Sprinklers getting switched on unannounced mid-way through a race?!?!? It is nothing BUT ludicrous!! How to make the sport look a farce in one, easy step! I couldn't believe it when it was suggested.

DRS is a totally different thing. It doesn't create a pass. It makes it possible.

Sprinklers would exist only to CREATE false "action".

Water on the track unannouced?! That's never happened!

DRS is totally false as would be sprinklers. Both would/do only paper over the fundamnetal problems with modern F1 which prevent overtaking. F1 has evolved to a such stage where artificial aids are sadly needed.

OK, well a 2 minute warning is what the old guy stated. I'm sorry, but I completely disagree with the comparison with DRS. The two things are totally different. Sprinklers would be so blatant and fake and in-your-face it's untrue. DRS isn't like that.

I don't see it like that. DRS is totally fake. All the thrill of the chase then the anti-climax of pressing the magic button and there's you're pass. Once upon a time there was real skill (ok there is still some skill needed but I don't think as much as there once was) in over taking with one driver having to out-fox their opponent, pushing them into a mistake, out braking them etc etc. DRS has none of the spectacle of how overtaking used to be but as I said this is how F1 has evolved with more and more complicated aerodynamics, more efficient brakes and the cars getting faster.

Post no. 4321!
