I do too but there was some talk around the middle of this season and some people asked for them to be not so loaded with photos because - while greatly appreciated - made it hard to load on their phones and tablets. I really do like having the photos though. I thought putting up just a few would be a good compromise.

This should help answer some of the question about the nose regs:

Charlie Whiting said: "A lot of teams have come up with a solution which is not quite what we intended.

"The [nose tip] bits are less structural than we would have liked, but the fully structural part of the noses is significantly lower than it was last year.

"I think on average it would be 200mm lower than it was last year.

"OK it has not worked exactly as we had hoped it might, but it will be a significant improvement over last year and it will be addressed for next year."
