I want to see a championship contested on track, without interference from a governing body with little or no experience in the sport. I want to see a season where drivers race and points rewarded for their performances without looming doubt of penalties imposed in the next race. I want to see a season free of embarrassing scandal. I want to see a sport where competitors display the best of their talent and skill on track, not a circus of entertainment perpetuated by non-competitors whose sole purpose is financial gain.

(You asked for it )

If you want that then don't look to the FIA. It's not their fault that ALL the teams bend the rules to within a hairs width of breaking. When they get caught they say "but it's always been this way".

Until the teams stop doing everything inside or outside the rules to gain 0.000000000001 of a second then we can expect the governing body to step in from time-to-time.

When are the teams going to do this? Right after the flying pigs go ice skating in hell.

To answer the original question, no, F1 hasn't become a farce. This season is not that different from many that have preceded it. In fact, I'd say that 2007 has been one of the more memorable seasons.
