Haha! And the day this happens is the day I quit watching and reading about F1. It's such a soap opera these days.

Please someone explain how this can be good for F1? It's a joke. I'd rather see NO rain and tight racing on near perfect perfect conditions. I don't watch F1 for crashes. I'll leave that for Nascar. It's different for endurance races like 24 of Nurburgring, and Le Mans. You should expect and want to see different conditions throughout the race.

In a way it proves that Bernie wants - and NEEDS - the U.S. television market.

Without crashes and a ton of overtaking, most U.S. race fans don't watch.

I don't totally agree. I think that F1 has lost it's desire

because the same guys win all the time. Bernie needs fans to

fuel his desire to charge 20 million for some poor town to

host. Without fans Bernie has nothing. American's are tired of

watching lap after lap with hardly any real passing and 60 lap

races won by pit stops.

By the 10th lap of most races it's already determined. The team

with the best set up for the track they are on just walk from

everyone else.

At least his sprinklers might bring a little chance back for the

back runners.

In a properly set up car at a circuit with cars running 10ths

apart sometimes 100's who's going to catch a guy that has a 1/2

lap lead with 30 to go? It's just not happening.


The cars are amazing. Sound amazing, handle amazing and

everything in between. It's just too predictable for the

average guy.
