Was reading the official F1 site earlier today and stumbled across this from Ross Brawn.

I think we’ve got to be careful not to go too far. Formula One has a spirit, has a character, has a DNA that we don’t want to spoil. I find basketball a little bit difficult to follow when they’re scoring 90 points and football with one or two goals is exciting – for me. I think motor racing, with one or two great overtaking manoeuvres per race, is what we want. Can't say I agree with his opinion. I want to see much more than one or two overtaking manoeuvres in a race. Thoughts?

To be completely honest I find it a bit discouraging to hear something like this from someone with such a big influence on the direction of the sport.
