i absolutely agree with you and was especially disappointed that it was Massa making the most noise about it.
I was going to make the point myself about the lack of testing making it increasingly difficult for new drivers to enter the sport. With the exception of advances in driver safety, it really does seem at times as though those within F1 that hold the most power are doing their best to damage the sports future. I've never understood the testing ban. I'm sure it has something to do with something but what that something is is something I'll never quite work out. Or something.

ive driven a single seater racer (albeit not f1 but a 2 litre turbo formula renault) during my first 2 racing lessons and i tell you driving a single seater with an open cockpit is some thrill, it was limited to about 120 mph but man it felt so much faster.. i can understand why drivers love their job so much......

even as someone who doesn't have a normal driving licence, that fascinates me. I can only imagine the sheer exhilliarition that must come from belting along a few inches from the ground at 180mph. I used to live with a guy who worked in the dragster industry over in the US and the stories he told me about
those drivers. Almost unearthly.
