It could be the drivers saying, no, we're the people doing this.

We're the people that are driving these things and we want to have a proper driving contest.

We don't want to be managing an engineering bit of kit.

To have qualifying not defined by how close to the limit you can drive is a nonsense.

And that strikes at the very core of what the sport is.

And so if we don't have that, the regulations have failed at a fundamental level.
