good point.. I forgot about that part

F1 has become a soap opera with Bernie and company running things and FOTA with the constant bickering about tech and possibly pulling out etc.

It's got enough going against it what with the "race" now taking place in the first two laps and then 60 or so of follow the leader at 240 kmh. I watch a couple races a year in hopes that some actual competition will occur. No luck the last ten years or so.

With Schumacher and Raikonnen in equal hardware, it shall be interesting I think.

By coincidence, Top Gear is finished the summer series, and won't be shooting till November again . . .and Schumacher is available to drive for Ferrari till November to replace Masa. Hmmmmm.

Yeah but this year it is the Red Bull and Brawn cars that lead the pack, last year it was Ferrari and the McLeran cars. Always the same old story. Maybe two competitive teams and 16 also rans making up a 250 kmh parade.


Don't get me wrong, I love the tech that goes into the cars and the cars themselves are mechanical works of art, but it has been a looooooooooooong time since there was any actual racing occuring on the track in a F1 event.
