F1 cars are amazing don't get me wrong but........

All these guys like Dana who watch it all of the time understand the drivers and their strengths. In turn they can choose most likely who will win and where, qualifying no different. These guys are good. Almost too good.


Throw a bunch of touring cars on a track and watch the carnage happen. From vW's to 911's it's all exciting.

That's my thought on motorsport on pavement. I'd much rather watch rally over all of it honestly

Well not counting this season Mark, there's usually about 6 different drivers battling for the win just because they're in the top teams. It makes it exciting

Agreed. Even with all the changes they've tried to implement, it's still slot car racing. I still watch it, but F1 is going to continue to bleed audience until they fix some of the real problems with the sport.

Man, that's one of the best side by side vids I've seen. Thanks for putting it up here, I'd have missed it otherwise.

Jenson Button has to be the smoothest pilot in the grid.

He does no corrections just draws a line and sticks to it perfectly.
