Just been watching F1 after not much interest over the last few years, bloody hell, its BORING!!! Switched it off in favour of the radio, its more interesting watching milk curdle! Give me bikes any day.
Yes it bloody boring Used to be a big fan until one race that I got up for in the wee small hours where the only notable/important overtaking was done in the pits
We have a local hillclimb, just a tiddler the road cars do it in 60 seconds and the single seats 30 seconds great stuff though technical and compelling.
If you look @ 1.54 once they diss appear they have an immediate right-hand hairpin then 500 yards to the finish. Its realy short and very busy lots of entres and constant stream of cars so great to watch Looking at this vid I remember the times wrong, the road cars wheretwice the time of the single seat forumula 3
F1 is billed as a team sport now, and lets face it, the one with the steering wheel doesn't win it any more, it's the weasley nerd with stop watch and laptop in the corner of the pits. I used to work for Dell and we were fed constant updates on how the team we were sponsoring was using the colossal computational array we'd set up for them. It was way more powerful than anything a mere corporate client used for their ERP systems!
F1 is a huge money spinner that sells itself on technology but has long since sold its soul to the corporate dollar. What is left is a bloody quick advertising hoarding where the best car wins and Ferrari get a leg up if they need it. There are plenty of more entertaining 4 wheel series but Indycar isn't one of them!
No, it's my regular way of having a good Sunday nap - put F1 on! Used to be a big fan and it pisses me off that it has become so sanitised and boring.
I watch indy cars. much better. Any of the cars can win. I especially like the ovals. 3 a breast racing is tense. Ok I know they have yellows but they all have pace cars now. Lots of tactics to stay on lead lap. If you have not got bt sport they are all on youtube the day after. I urge you to try. If you can watch the raingaurd 600 from Texas on YouTube or even just the highlights
My daughter got me some free tickets to last years practice at Silverstone in one of the stands way back from the track. Now that was boring!! Also got a parking fine cos one of the minions directed us to the wrong car park for the designated ticket.Never again.
