Formula One

This is what I have heard. Wasn't sure if it was the real reason or not.

Do you think McLaren has any chances of winning their points back?

I remember watching f1 races and thinking such and such was going to win and then seeing a huge ploom of smoke and then seeing the leader pull off and either being distraught if it was a jordan or delighted if it was someone i didnt like.

It really added to the excitement and unpredictability of the races. I know i was incredibly frustrated when Fisichella retired from Hockenheim in 97 while in second and Frentxen while leading in the nurburgring 99 but that was part of the sport and it made it oh so entertaining and unpredictable. Similarly i was ecstatic when a car would drop out and allow one of my guys through. Espiecially when an engine would go BOOM! its just a cool sight.

Why do the FIA want the cars to be more reliable? The building of engines/gearboxes is only a tiny fraction of the developmental costs. I say let them push the engines to the extreme and if they explode so be it let that be their punishment. None of this 10 place grid demotion nonsense.

Ever since that spoiled brat Hamilton came into F1 (with the fastest car and Mclaren support since 13, I might add), people have bent over backwards telling us how great he is. Some Brits insisted that he is already the greatest ever and one former world champ already said that Hamilton can be better than Schumacher.

Now F1 journalist Peter Windsor wrote, "I think Lewis is better than both Senna and Prost".

WTF! I am sick of people in F1 kissing Hamilton's butt at the expense of guys like Fangio, Senna, Prost, Schumacher, etc. . . For these multiple time world champs and F1 legends to even be put in the same paragraph as a rookie is a ridiculous and insulting.

What do you think?

Toyota are one of the highest spending teams in F1 and aside from 2004 have been pathetic. They throw loads of money at the cars, have poor drivers, no passion and no history in F1. Like Honda, they dont look like they will ever be serious challengers in F1.

Williams are using the same engine and are well ahead of them in the championship on very limited funds. They are one of the greatest F1 teams of all time and Patrick Head and Frank Williams are pure racers. They also have an immense talent in Nico Rosberg.

No one likes Toyota, they are only a big company participating as part of a marketing ploy. They would get just as much exposure if they supplied Williams with engines, it wouldnt cost as much and they would have a better chance of success and a lot more followers(the japanese would still support them because they would make the engine and Williams have a large fanbase too)

Renault got just as much exposure when they supplied Williams with engines in the 90s as now.

The f1 points system is clearly flawed at the moment espiecially since the top teams are so dominant it means there are normally only 2 pts positions left after Mclaren/ferrar/bmw have dont their thing of being fast and reliable.

this means the drivers outside the points have absolutley no reason to bother racing because finishing 9th is the same as finishing 20th - you get nothing. If the drivers had a small number of points to gain for every position a la Nascar or most positions like Moto GP it would encourage more passing in the positions outside the points. It also would sho who the better drivers are. Barrichello is clearly better than Albers but because neither have points they look equally crap.

Also there should be prize money(i know there is some but i mean reward for race positon). This way drivers, espiecially ones with limited sponsorship, would really have something to fight for and you will fight like hell if it means an extra €40000 in your pocket.

I just read this question http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkaV_xAis_1OxPwefKPUWcfsy6IX?qid=20070828072822AAjF6i0&show=7#profile-info-IRReETboaa

And my question is WTF is wrong with those who said the present?How could anyone prefer f1 of the present over the past?I can only assume everyone who said they prefer present day f1 is quite young.Espiecially robert268...F1 was boring and easy in the past?Are you insane?1500bhp cars with no driver aids, manual gears, zero safety and very little aero grip was easier to handle?

ive been following it for a long time and anyone i know that used to love it now is barely able to sit through a whole race anymore.

Read that summary and watch these videos and tell me how it is better these days.

I really dont know why i atch F1 anymore i just cant seem to let it go. Its like an old girlfriend who was great once but is no fun to be around anymore but you still dont want to let her go...Every race i think its gonna be good this time and it never is. Nurburgring was an exception but aside from webber there was no real surprise result there .

And next year is going to be even worse. The aero rules will make passing just as impossible and they wont be allowed make aero or engine upgrades so if they are behind at the start of the season thats it. Whoever wins in Australia will probably win the title.

Anyone remember the good ol' days when cars used actually pass each other, engines used explode in a haze of smoke, drivers used make mistakes,unexpected teams would finish in the points/podium,some cars would be strong on really fast circuits due to power making up for their poor aero, the old hockenheimring, when eau rouge, raddilon, 130r, Tamburello, werent easily flat out...

Putting aside egos and pissy attitudes, would a race staged where F1 Cars, Champ Cars and Indy Cars compete on the same track, at the same time be a feasible and entertaining event? It works fairly well in other racing venues, might this be a possibility for these three different class of cars?

Kimi Raikkonen is faster and better driver than Massa in my opinion and he doesn't do mistakes when he is in presur.So why ferrari blocks Kimi to pass Massa while he is faster?THIS IS NOT FAIR!

Is it because the F-1 cars are lighter than the Nascar cars. I have watched a few Formula One races, and whenever it rains you just put on rain tires and just keep racing.
