[Leica] EYE BLINK TIME?

[Frank.Dernie at btinternet.com (Frank Dernie)]

I absolutely agree that the simple rules are the only ones which can be 
properly policed. Since big money came into F1 the politicians have 
interfered with the rule making in order to manipulate the sport, but 
without understanding the implications of the vagueness and complexity, and 
refusing to listen to explanations.
IMO the rules are so complicated and impossibly expensive to police, 
anything could happen. Which may well be what the politicians wanted, then 
-anything- can be protested and -any- defence may work. ie the powers that 
be can manipulate the results...
