The 107 % rule is, even with the new slower teams, absolute BS and who ever brought up introducing it again should forever be banned from having anything at all to do with motorsport *exaggeration*

I wouldn't could that as an exaggeration. Jean Todt puts F1 into disrepute.
Vitaly Petrov and Nico Hulkenberg are two of the most underestimated drivers in years.
If Chandhok got a superlicense, so should have Sebastien Loeb

Hells yes. I think that 1997 proved that most people could be world champion in the right car (other than Kazuki Nakajima).
Fixed.

Bahrain was an anti-climax and the current rules and regulations could lead to a dull season and Prost, with his FIA money in his back pocket, can claim as much as he wants that things will get better but its not looking promising.

When was his prime then? 'Cause I thought his 'prime' was during the late 90s, when he had the best car in the field, hence rendering your statement false
But under different circumstances I'd agree anyway.

Gah! If only the FIA had introduced Bernies Medal System then the Bahrain GP would have been ten times more exciting with a tonne of over taking and attempts to win!!!

I'D VOTE FOR THAT!
And Rockingham is a great circuit. And using Rockingham would end the annual "SAVE SILVERSTONE, NO, NO LETS USE BRANDS HATCH" nonsense that I personally get bored of.

Rockingham, Eurospeedway Lausitz, Indy, Martinsville! (I love this track on NASCAR console games!)

Prepare for broken nosecones and strained necks! (Turning left 400 times is going to cause some serious problems considering the G-force they can pull round the turns compared to NASCAR).

That will prevent a repeat of Bahrain...

As well as going to Eurospeedway Lausitz, Rockingham UK, Indy and Martinsville, F1 also needs the Manx TT track and to visit the Vatican City State. After all we have Monaco and the Hungaroring...

Well? Do they want to get paid or not? T'other week I sprained by shoulder chopping a tree down. No-one cared about me!

Well, initially I only suggested Martinsville because I was good at it in games - and it was short. But with this much popularity, somebody should get onto Bernie straightaway! At least there shouldn't be any shortage of pit lane space, considering as how they're used to 43-car fields... And it'll sort out who's good at getting past other cars as everybody will be quickly having to either lap or get lapped by others. And imagine all that dirty turbulent air around the whole track all the time!!!

I've always believed the Ovals or Superspeedways (Is there a difference?) should be introduced to the F1 calendar as they are a discipline in themselves, unique as it were. And I recall and interview with DC who thought the same as me.

There is one problem the FIA wouldn't like however - cost.
Millions would be spent developing what would basically be a B-spec car especially for the ovals to achieve much lower levels of drag.

A superspeedway is generally over two miles in length. The only two currently on the schedule are Talladega and Daytona.

Thats quite true but if it worked they'd be happy with the points it earned them. Despite what some F1 team leaders say in public I'm sure they're happy to spend whatever it takes to get points.

Why not introduce a rule that makes teams have to run on ovals with the standard car then?
Easier said than done. The only way I'd see that working without it being exploited is a blanket ban on modifications throughout the season. And we don't want that, it means whoever wins the first race will automatically win the titie.
