For me the low points from this season that will stick in the memory were.

The revelation of the Renault and Piquet race fixing from Singapore last year.

Hamilton and McLaren lying to the stewards in Australia, apart from being very disappointed that they would do such a thing I can’t believe how stupid there were considering they knew the stewards only had to listen to the radio transmissions to find out the truth and that they weren’t in the FIA’s good books anyway.

The whole FIA and FOTA arguments and potential split. I look forward to the day when I can honestly say I think that the FIA are doing a good job running F1.

Teams leaving, even though if all the new teams make the grid next year we will have more cars next year than this year, it would have been better if so many teams hadn’t left in the space of twelve months.

At the time I would defiantly have said Massa’s crash, but thankfully it looks like he will make a full recovery and be back racing next year.

The F1 split made my life very miserable, I had many sleepless night.Massa’s accident I guess had made people have their heart in their mouth,even Kubica’s accident in 2007 in Canada was worst then his but the injuries that he had was severe.I am planning to go to 2010 Malaysian Grand Prix now I think I need to think twice.But the most interesting thing is that Schumacher can still return may be for Mercedes hope this time he is fit.

Allow me to add my voice to the confused masses regarding the Diffuser issue. Why oh why weren’t they banned for 2010?
Even if they don’t hinder overtaking as much as some think, surely it’s one more area of the car that requires development and therefore expenditure. We’re trying to cut costs AND improve the racing – seems that banning the DDD’s will satisfy both these requirements.

What about the crash-gate? Ok, it was a 2008 issue, but I found it the most embarrasing moment in F1 ever: cheating and letting the guilty get away with it

The biggest let down for me wasnt schumi, although i was very disappointed, it was the lack of over taking compared to what we were promised.

The first couple of races were great but then the whole paddock got DDD’s and i cant believe something hasnt been done about the loophole in 2010!

From a year that promised so much excitment on track it turned out all the excitement was off it.

Just want March 2010 to come asap

Sorry, I meant to say Button and Webber’s battle was good.

I wouldn’t say Abu Dhabi was largely forgettable. Button and Webber’s was good.

I know very little about aerodynamics and can still say it is the DDD’s causing the problem.Seems to be VERY obvious.

This is only part one of the article Sush.Surely race fixing is not overlooked.
