Hopefully they'll put the crack pipe down and reverse this.

I can see why they'd want to 'brand' drivers with permanent numbers though. Don't really care about that too much to be honest.”

I agree. Seems to be rather stupid, like you say why not given them a joker to play.
Or perhaps they could have targets on the track to run over and gain extra points.
If they want to make F1 interesting get back to V10 and V12 engines, refuelling and more than one tyre manufacturer.
I heard the guy who is planning the Formula E series on Sky saying that people would be able to give the driver more power by tweeting during the race which means he'd get more boost to pass other cars.
That'll be giving Bernie ideas next.
