The FIA finally agreed to strip away these ridiculous electronic aids. It took enough noise from us to force them to stop turning drivers into mere passengers. Keep watching the track next year because we will be looking for any sign of these systems creeping back in.
As any self-respecting Formula 1 fan, I have been deeply disappointed by the World\'s Championship 2002 outclassed by Ferrari. We could find many points who have depleased Formula 1 fans : team strategies, Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello\'s behavior on the racetrack as in Austria or in the United States, Ferrari\'s domination during all season, etc ... But the biggest cause of this problem is the electronic help to the drivers. When the electronics came back on the racetrack in May 2001 with the help on the starting grid and everything else, the show has tremendously deteriorated. At this very time, Ferrari began its domination because of its own electronics division, an advantage Ferrari is the only team to have. Also, starts went as boring as the rest of the race. Now, it isn\'t the best driver who has the best start but the car which has the best starting system. This situation must stop before my favorite sport falls into decay. That\'s why I ask to the FIA on Formula 1 fans\' behalf who signed this petition to cancel the use of electronic help for 2004. I hope we\'ll able to change something.

The FIA can no longer ignore the growing pile of names demanding they strip the tech advantage from Ferrari. This momentum proves that fans see right through the rigged systems ruining our sport.

Make it about the driver again. Watching schumacher drive with all that help is just not the same as the old days

C'est devenu ridicule. On veut voir des pilotes pas des ingénieurs informatiques. Marre de Ferrari qui gagne tout avec ses boîtiers électroniques.
