Not another street circuit :(
% of decent races at street circuits must be below 10.
Oh well, I guess I won’t be able to see anything but the highlights, so do I care?

Perhaps the time has come for someone to organize a massive multi-national petition to get rid of Bernie? He dismisses any opposition as being wrong-minded. If tens of thousands tell him he’s wrong, perhaps, just […]

Well that will be it for me & F1. The races have got increasingly boring & predictable, with only the odd delightful exception. I’m certainly not paying £25 a month (or whatever it is) to Rupert Murdoch for the […]

I was no fan of the idea of the elimination system, but I think one race is too short a trial. Many of the issues in the first 2 sessions were teams misjudging the time it took to get a car out on track (and of […]

I’m not so sure about the qualifying changes. They may work brilliantly, but they certainly penalise those who have had incidents – you won’t have 15 minutes to get a car out on track, you’ll have 5. It also means […]

It may as well be like WWE after this snoozefest. 1/10 for me too.

For me, Vettel had one outstanding lap & the rest was a given. The drivers behind him had much more to do and in slower cars (ignoring the Mercs, of course).

Oh good grief. Shouldn’t they be allowed to have a “free” engine after a crash, particularly one that wasn’t their fault?

Meh. 3. I’m another one getting bored to tears by these races. Apart from the Alonso/Raikkonen crash, this was bad, even watching the “highlights”. At this rate, I’ll be giving up on F1 completely (and that’s […]

That would be Microsoft time :)

I feel I’m being generous to give that a three – as predictable as a pantomime but without the innuendo. Roll on next season (or tie one of Vettel’s arms behind his back.)

Agreed – excluding the team is about the only thing that will make a difference, although deducting World Championship points might work.

I think the Red Bull cars are set up to suit Vettel in the way that cars often are set up to suit the team leader. This gives Vettel an advantage, but he’s a better driver than Webber and he’s much hungrier for […]

I am not saying that Vettel is not a very very good & hungry driver – he wouldn’t be a triple world champion if he wasn’t; I’m saying that the Red Bull is the best car and it’s clearly set up to suit Vettel.

Absolutely. Vettel’s superiority is in large part due to the car (not to take away his abilities, they just weren’t visible this weekend. Alonso did well in the race, but not in qualifying.

Overtaking far too easy – I agree with all the negative comments about DRS. Quite like the tyre strategy stuff, however.

It’s (legal) cheating and the reason why many of us would rather *anyone* won rather than Ferrari.

I voted for Button, but I guess that the argument for Grosjean is that at least he made something happen! There was precious little else of interest in the race.

Why did the BBC have to get this **** rather than the Canadian GP which is often great? 1 and I’d have given it a zero if I could.

It was Vettel’s fault – he cut in too soon. He isn’t exempt from blame just because he’s a double World Champion.
