The FIA/AMD Formula One Survey, the largest survey of its kind in motor
sport, has revealed that fans have responded very positively to changes
in Formula One in 2006. They say that the reintroduction of tyre changes
has made racing more exciting (66%) and that changes to qualifying are an
improvement (73%) which helps make the racing more competitive. Fans are
watching more qualifying as a result (51%). The survey has also
reaffirmed the view that Formula One is an important showcase for
technology (91%) but that more emphasis must be put on driver skill and
less on driver aids (88%). Improving overtaking remains the most
important element of racing to be improved for the fans (86%). Max
Mosley, FIA President said: "Our annual survey has again proved to be
incredibly popular with Formula One fans across the world and their
response to the improved format of the sport in 2006 has been very
positive. "We recognise their view that technology is important but that
the right balance with driver skill must be achieved and that improving
car design to encourage overtaking must be one of our priorities. "We are
now working very closely with the teams and manufactures to ensure that
we encourage the introduction of new energy efficient technology which
will not only help to improve the show but will also have a direct
environmental relevance for the motoring public. With the assistance of
our technology partner AMD we are creating a new group of experts from
all of the Formula One teams to optimise aerodynamic improvements and
other changes to facilitate overtaking." "Our message to the Formula One
fans who have taken the time to complete this year's survey is very
simple - thank you. We have listened to all your views and we are
committed to working with the teams and the other Formula One
stakeholders to help improve our sport for all involved." The Survey

Formula One and more than half of respondents were participating in the
survey for the first time. Qualifying and Pit Stops Fans overwhelmingly

improved from last season. They also welcomed the return of tyre changes
during pit stops which they felt made racing more exciting.

Non ho visto il sondaggio, ma immagino che la domanda fosse formulata 
come segue:
La reintroduzione dei cambi gomma ha reso le gare:
-moltissimamente piu' spettacolarissime
-molto spettacolari
-eccezionalmente eccitanti
-non so
grazie al cazzo che i risultati poi sono quelli, nel primo survey mi 
ricordo che non era possibile quasi mai esprimere un parere seccamente 
negativo, solo "sfumature di approvazione".
