  Jenson Button feels the FIA has been more open to driver opinions since they wrote an open letter questioning the state of Formula One earlier this season. Nike Air Force 1 Low Womens .In March the Grand Prix Drivers Association (GPDA), of which Button is a director, called for an overhaul of F1s obsolete and ill-structured decision-making process. It followed the controversy over elimination qualifying, which could not be scrapped in time for the Bahrain Grand Prix despite a farcical debut in Australia.F1s drivers have no official voting power on new regulations, which are devised by F1s Strategy Group, voted on by the F1 Commission and rubber-stamped by the FIAs World Motor Sport Council. The letter called on F1 to devise a master plan to restructure this format to prevent similar gridlock in future.?Though there has been no change to the structure Button thinks the FIA has been more willing to listen to what drivers have to say since the GPDA went public.?We feel that we do have a say anyway and since our comments earlier in the year, the FIA have been more open to our opinions, but they would prefer it is behind closed doors rather than in the press, Button said. I think that we have a reasonable say but you always want more because you always think we have more to give, rather than take, and thats definitely what were here to do -- make the sport a better place.Bernie Ecclestone memorably replied to the open letter by calling the drivers windbags, saying they should keep opinions to themselves. Button thinks the letter proved drivers care about improving the sport as much as possible.I think it showed to the world that there are issues in F1 and the drivers know they are issues and are willing to help. Of course we got replies from certain individuals and I think our comments were valid and I think they understand that.The important thing is that were all willing to what we can to improve the sport, because the sports not in a bad place but its not as good as it should be and not as good as it will be. Things like this, little regulations with yellow flags, the radio, that we need to come up with a solution that works for us all.
