Lotus proved that a British 'small' engine could beat an American large 
engine, which is a different thing.  Speed limitation has been one of the 
constant aims of the FIA, whether through engine size, tyre width and even 
formulation, and aerodynamic restrictions.  Consequently making the races 
processional, hence the compulsory refuelling stops for a time.   After a 
brief flurry or more interesting seasons a couple of years ago last year was 
as dull as ever.  Most of the changes are to try and produce more 
competition, but they always fail, a team with a lot of money will always do 
better than one with no money, no matter how often they change the rules.

What would be interesting is the drivers drawing lots for the car they will 
drive ...
