I Think That F1 Is Back..

...to it's old glories (almost).

Haven't really been interested in F1 since Senna died. Schumacher winning year after year bored me, and the lack of competition outside the top 2 teams just proved tedious.

Now we have genuine competition again (is it because the best drivers aren't in the best cars?) and I've actually managed to sit through and watch 3 gran prix's this year. As i said earlier, haven't done that in 15 years or so.

Welcome back F1, let's hope it's competitive for a few more years (and perhaps even Murray Walker can make a comeback?)

Not at all tbh, when you lose 30 seconds for overtaking you know there is something wrong with the sport... hardly anything goes on in an F1 match... since Schumacher first rose to prominence the whole sport has be dull as hell

this season has some of the best young drivers you'll ever see especially 21 year old sebastien vettel.you also have hamilton,kubica,sutil and some very talented young drivers coming through the ranks.this season has had a few shocks with vettel winning his first gp to kubica winning his.its no longer a 2 horse race anymore between ferrari and mclaren,bmw have no entered the race.

f1 has become more exciting this season mainly because of the loss of traction control.more overtaking and more drivers taking huge risks.

f1 is the most exciting sport in the world in my mind

you can overtake in f1 as well.its just harder because you have better drivers.no offence to nascar drivers.

i find nascar really boring.its very dull.just watching cars go around in circular shapes for about 200 laps

ive always liked watching F1 but when m.Schumacher started winning all the time it got boring

i must admit that F1 has been a breathe of fresh air this last 2 seasons, i havent seen much of this sebastien vettel guy maybe it was a 1 off him winning but there seems 2 b maybe 2 or 3 drivers that could win it this year and years 2 come

i know success in this sport is down 2 money but why have teams got better and faster cars than others

you mean like in the last race at monza where hamilton overtook most of the field to get himself up from 15th to 2nd place at one point, or perhaps at spa where the overtaking was happening everywhere. Misconception that overtaking doesnt happen in F1, it happens plenty, its just more in the middle of the pack than anywhere else.

I think the fact that Schumi has retired has breathed life into the sport. Not that he did anything wrong, but he was so dominant that no young drivers could realistically compete for the title no matter how good they were. There are now a lot more drivers with a shout of winning races.

good call rock

schummi absolutley domminated in the 2000s and part of the 90s.then alonso came along and we had a brilliant title fight.last season as well was brilliant,3 drivers with a chance of winning the drivers championship but this season its most likely gonna be the 2 (massa and hamilton) and i can see this title fight going to the last race in brazil which would be absolutly fantastic for massa to win the championship in his home country

:lol:

It still starts and ends at the same place though so even if it's a square shaped track, it's still circular. :P

Must be good to not know who is going to win the championship before the season has started now.

where do you expect it to end if not at the place it began? :blink:

pretty sure practically every general shape starts and ends in the same place, hexagon, squares, triangles, dodecahedron, and they aint circular. Have you been smoking the wacky baccy again?

:lol: Because they go round in a circle over and over again. Not the shape meaning of the word, the figure of speech version.
