   F1 webs were always horrible. They don't understand that if they make   
   the site user friendly it will help F1 to be more popular.   
   If they make API for data to be freely used by others, many will use   
   them and spread the word (open data concept).   
   Not only schedule, but all data: live timings, standings, other   
   statistics, everything.

   It's better to be judged by twelwe than carried by six.
