Hey fellas,
I just have to ask. I feel like we've been spoiled by F1 from '05-'08 with all those seasons going down to the wire to name a champion but this year both constructors and drivers champion have been named with a race to go. I honestly think the season never truly recovered from the double diffusor drama which led to a season where nobody was capable of coming within almost 2 races of challenging the points leader.
'05 - Alonso had to fight Kimi(for the most part but his engine kept exploding)
'06 - Alonso had to fight Shuey
'07 - Kimi, Alonso, Hami, and for most of the season Massa
'08 - Hami, Massa, and for most of the season Kubica
'09 - Button......
This drivers/contructors championship I feel is as debatable as Mansell's when he was the only car running the new at the time sequential transmission, but at least he won races all season long! Congradulations to the champion but shame on F1 for allowing a season to be this dismal. I think MotoGP just got bumped to #1. I'm just thinking out loud and am curious what fellow die-hard fans are thinking.

 

Not just you. I stopped watching about 4 races ago just with all of the drama alone.

 

The season is ovaaaa???? Missed the whole thig ....

 

I certainly agree.. It has way too much drama and everything is taken sooo sooo seriously ! You can't even get a glimpse of a driver relaxed, laughing or even enjoying themselves before or after a race..
Sometimes I watch those old F1 footage from 70's and 80's and almost everyone is having fun .. Drivers taking a nap 20 mins before a race, laughing to other teammates etc.. But the current f1 is just so serious and anal ! Drivers look like robots and team crew look like NASA personnel...Its is not a sport anymore it is strictly business...who cares when you win or lose like that...just my $0.02 !

 

this season has sucked for along time....Ferarri hasn't been themselves, all the bullsh*t with Bernie(FOM/FIA) and Briatore has made this season a complete mess and not really even worth watching. I've been a fan since I was like 4 years old and loyalty to the sport is pretty much the only thing thats kept me watching this year.

 

Thought this sucked. Didn't even care about making sure I was the races...

 

this season was very good. it wasn't the same old ferrari vs. McLaren crap. Force India even got in on the action! yeah there was drama but what major sport doesn't have it? Either you enjoy the behind the scenes action or you ignore it and watch the race, if you let the drama ruin it for you that is your own damn fault. Just about every race had something crazy happen, and you weren't sure who was going to end the season strong (both the power house teams showed some light towards the end). The only thing this season lacked was Barrister.

 

I'm glad new teams got into the hunt, its refreshing. but then you have teams like BMW that look like they just gave up(Brazilian GP) it goes to show the effort put into this season and makes you wonder the commitment the other teams have as well. I dont think that it was a good season at all imo. I'm definitely looking forward to next year. Go USGPE

 

F1 and Team Speed really aren't the same without Dana

 

Are you kidding me? Give it a break. Button and Brawn won it fair and square. It's not their fault other teams failed to interpret the rules correctly.

Oh, and they didn't have to pull a Schumacher to win.
