F1 is ruined!

I agree. I don't like it that I get the feeling that the driver doens't need to use the maximum of his capability during the entire race. I got this feeling most when Hamilton was told to turn down the engine and when I compared his regular lap time with his fastest lap.

F1 has become endurance racing. Not my cup of tea.

 

I don't agree, and frankly I'm tired of repetitious bellyaching threads on the subject.

 

May I suggest MotoGP as an option. First race of the season had great racing right to the checkers. 3 riders were within about .4 secs throughout the race. Brilliant stuff with great sights and sounds and you can see the actual people racing that possess much more pleasant, yet highly competitive personalities than the current F1 drivers, IMO. Far less *****ing about their machines, too.

 

Fell asleep three or four times during today's snooze fest. One of the most boring races ever.

F1 is ruined. But sooner or later there will be a revolt to fix the technical regulations.

 

Agree - first two or three laps = Action!! Next 47 snooze/sleep - 6 laps action and excitement!!!

Not good - formula 1 should be about maximum speed balls out racing - not some tree hugging Ecco warrior racing.

 

There's another thread for this, on the F1 section

the 2014 big changes that said to bring things closer never happened, instead the racing got even worst with all these economy run

I can't wait for all the whiners to find another sport they can follow and STFU on here.

 

Don't like it don't watch it, it really is that simple.

 

I can't believe I have to remind you again: WE ARE ALL FREE TO HAVE AND VOICE OUR OPINIONS ON HERE!

maybe you just need to find another forum if you don't like it.

 

Sure, everyone is free to voice their opinion, but how many ****ing threads do we need to do it!?

[I think this is at least the fourth. ]

Yup, I stayed at work today and did paperwork and watched the last 13 laps since it was on TV...... The positive side of the coin is I won't be too upset if I miss the F1 on TV if I had to do other things.

 

Exactly my point.

 

And you can say this because every race under the previous formula was exciting from start to finish.

 

After 4 years of snooze fest this season is a welcome fresh breeze of air.

 

Oh yes. I could watch Vettel struggle for hours on end.

 

Fell asleep...just googled the results...

 

First of all, can we merge this into the other thread? http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/f1/440850-end-f1.html

Second of all, these are the most exciting to watch F1 cars in over a decade. I love their visceral growls, harks back to the days of Grand Prix racing before WWII kicked it in the gut.

I think this year's cars are fantastic as you can see that they actually have to be driven. It also doesn't have as much aero wash as the parade lap F1 cars of several years ago.

The only thing I don't like are the fuel limits.

 

Just wondering. Those of you that do watch the WHOLE race, what do you do to fill in the gaps when nothing is happening? Do you play chess? F1 used to have everyone sitting on the edge of the couch holding their breath. This surely is no longer the case is it? Bishop to Qeens pawn..........

 

Depends, what did you do when Vettel lead into the first corner last year and so on, how about MS in hey day when he lead into the first corner, I mowed the lawn.

At least with the raft of changes brought in, some unexpected things can and maybe will happen.

 

At least last year the cars had a biting sound and the best car still won. This all starting going down hill 7 or 8 years ago. The organizers of F1 are taking a little bite out of this sport each and every year only this year they took a bit more than they could chew. They will only notice this in about another couple of years. By then we might be to the new Renault below. Truly sad but chess can always help the 90 minutes go faster.
Cant wait the hear the ripping sound of this car!

This.

 

Schumi era bored quite a few fans as well. Even some Ferrari fans lol! Life goes on and so does F1. I wont miss a race this year!

And with access, one way or another, to all the live timing data etc I find it interesting to see;

- Who's moving forward/backward
- Who's 'punching above(below) their weight'
- Checking different tire choices/strategies
- How are the minnows doing
Etc

Just because there isn't a race long dice, with 5 different leaders, like some want, doesn't bother me at all. I doff my cap to whoever's done the best engineering job and look elsewhere for interesting racing. Sometimes I find it, others not, but there's generally much going on all thru the field if you follow closely.
