With regards to the blocking rule, don't know why they just don't adopt what most road racing series do 
Ok, this is not a straight quote, but Barfield said in the press conference that he wanted to have "more gray area" (what's clean move and what's not) on the rule book and him having the final call would help with consistency as he is the man who has to face all the drivers before and after every race. He felt that over the last few years Indycar race control has been judging how people walk and how they should walk and given penalties on that basis. He doesn't want to be telling how everyone should walk but rather come out with his view when someone makes a dangerous move.
I have a posite feeling that he's going to make racing better if he has this kind of point of view. If you compare it to what Brian Barnhart said sometimes about blocking and penalties, he was more like a totalitarian who insisted that there should be penalties even from the slightest mistakes.

Also, could we please make some sort of rule about pictures of the new car? I mean, everytime someone posts a picture of it, at least half a dozen people goes screaming how ugly it is and nothing else. We've all heard that all ready, it's not big news anymore. Like mew said, it's like with the F1's front wing from 2009- onwards. We didn't like it but now we've get used to it. Shouting about the ugliness doesn't change a one bit about it, except the post count on this forum.
It's not really a that big deal what it looks like if the racing is good or happening at all. I for one don't want the old Dallara back and I know that we can't get the mid-90's look. The DW12 is what we got and it's here for this year. Next year it would look a bit different.
