so they completely redo the rules and all you notice is the rear wing?

obviously you're not an F1 fan.

Do they get Traction control back??
That tiny rear wing compared to the front wing seems out of ratio!

Those rear wings look silly. Were they allowed to lower the front wing ground clearance? They all look lower now.

The steering wheels are ridiculous, more buttons and knobs than a 747.

Edit: Why do they practice or test on wets when it's dry out?

I noticed that too; wonder if it was too cold for slicks, so they ran the intermediates. :?:
