I can't help thinking the OWG is the factor that has led to this split between the teams and FIA. It has made this year's racing so much better, the cars are simpler and drivers are having to drive.
I think it made the teams realise that working together and developing rules driven by engineering principles gave a better product. Meanwhile BE and MM were spouting off about medals and making idiots of themselves when talking about technical stuff.
You can imagine the looks around the table "heh, we are really bright intelligent guys, why do we jump through silly hoops because those clowns tell us to? This should be about racing, ditch the clowns and lets get our respect and creditability back"
