Rusty Nuts Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 See what your saying Steve but so far this season the racing has been more engaging to view bar the Monaco F1. I for one am enjoying it, but overall it could do with a bit of relaxation of all the rules it seems too constrained. Come on Force India Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 My cousin-in-law works for Force India. He designs the wishbones apparently. Back to racing. At the end of today's race the commentator declared the we had rarely seen such close racing. I looked at PeterG (here on holiday) and he looked at me. The first 6 cars were nose to tail in a not-so-fast procession. That's not racing. Racing is where one car overtakes another. Overtakes, mind you, not barges into it and pushes it off track.

(without the chuffin's ) I think I agree, it's going too far towards endurance racing, and not so much about driver out and out speed, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajpearson Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 My opinion is changing, today was one of the most boring races thus far, and the tyres are just getting ridiculous Bring back all the old rules with regards pit stops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenko Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I've loved it all so far this season....people need to understand that it's not all about the racing. It's about everything that surrounds it as well as the racing, the pit stops the strategies, the cars, everything!. Agree that if you want to see all out racing go and watch the touring cars. In f1, the pit crews compete against each other as do the designers,the strategists, etc, etc. but you need to engage with all the aspects of the race. Yep, we have had a few years in the last decade that have been boring as one car has been so much stronger than the others, but sorry guys, this season ain't on of them....6 different winners in six races, lots of overtaking, it's bl**** fantastic and anyone who disagrees is wrong.....so there :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I disagree, but we won't fall out. I thought that F1 was about improving motor technology. The tyre rules won't do that. Surprised the manufacturer goes along with it. How one manufacturer to supply the tyres, without competition can improve tyres for road going cars fails me, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenko Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Every team has the same tyres, so irrespective they all need to figure out how to use them...I just see that as a leveller. I do wonder if there is a generation who harp on about he good old days, and are single minded about the advances and 'new ways' of doing things...you see a similar thing with music....by the way, that's actually not a pop at anyone on this thread, it's a general observation made mostly from people I work with!. In all seriousness, it is amazing how F1 divides opinion and I can't argue with opinions of individuals. If you don't like It, fair enough. Granted, Monico was the least interesting race this season, but I really struggle to see how anyone who has been watching all of the races could not enjoy it....Maybe thats the secret, immerse yourself in the entire weekend, watch the qualifying, listen to the preamble, enjoy the race............... Can anyone help me out here as Im starting to think, it might really be just me who likes f1!!!!!!!!!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveD Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 i have tried to like f1 i really have but its just total b*****k* these days , bring back refueling and decent chuffin rubber an let the teams race , im not old enough to say bring back he good old days as it was all in black and white then ,but bring back racing to f1 at least and leave the false **** and staged circus that it is these days behind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
