(GMM) Gary Anderson has hit out at formula one's latest raft of rules.
The Ulsterman, former long-time technical director at Jordan, told 'Setanta' that the carmakers could have avoided the switch to V8 power.
''They had an alternative ... in the form of a rev limiter in the V10 engines,'' he marvelled, ''but they all said no.''
Anderson reckons the V10 regs, together with the two-race per engine rule, was a 'decent money saver'. But he insisted that V8 development is now bringing the cheque books out again: ''All that money saved is now being spent,'' Gary said, ''and it's sad.''
Toyota driver Jarno Trulli, meanwhile, sees an even more serious side-effect of relentlessly changing rules -- the decline of spectator interest.
The Italian told La Gazzetta dello Sport: ''People are getting fed up over having to study the rule changes every season.
''This is not good for the sport.''
