Neil Reid commented on the post, Ecclestone and Montezemolo return to F1 board 8 years, 1 month ago
Oh sonny, chill a bit. I’ve been around this sport since the early 80’s. Would you say that F1 or WEC racing is more interesting these days?

The dumbo ear wings were weird, I’ll grant you that looked like a flying nun hat. And yes of course the “proboscis” look is for safety, not green.
The proboscis era, for me, takes the ugly cake all the way […]

+1 socksolid. Hooray for younger viewers but it’s the middle aged ones who have the most disposable income.
I believe F1 took a serious nose dive with the “must have green” show. Racing has never been about the […]

Amen hobo. The more the ruling body restricts the formula, the more artificial the whole show becomes. I know some people care about energy usage, but racing has never been about that for me- ever. The current […]

Neil Reid commented on the post, Wolff named Williams test driver for 2015 8 years, 2 months ago
I have nothing against Susie Wolf but have to believe this is a political correctness appointment. Surely there are better drivers out there who would have been a better choice and investment. Zero wins and four […]

Agreed with Casey as I did the same thing. Watching MotoGP as a reasonable comparison is vastly better streamed for literally 1/10th of the money.
For me however, F1 has simply become not relevant after they […]
Neil Reid commented on the post, Give Formula E a chance – but not Fanboost 8 years, 4 months ago
Formula E is what happens when political correctness goes racing.
Call me a dinosaur but I will probably always prefer racing with howling or roaring gasoline powered engines. Can’t get excited at all about […]

Neil Reid commented on the post, German bank turns down £19.9m Ecclestone offer 8 years, 5 months ago
I see no compelling reason now to spend big money to see an F1 race. I’ve attended Montreal, Indy, and Austin. Montreal in the mid-90’s was pretty fun as you could actually get reasonably close to the cars, […]
Neil Reid commented on the post, Ecclestone bribe trial close to settlement 8 years, 6 months ago
So…guilty or not guilty, Bernie cuts a check for what amounts to pocket lint for him and he skates free. If he gives the money to charity, he’ll deduct that on his taxes, so in the end it’s not even a mosquito […]

I’ve been watching F1 continuously since 1984 and this is the first year that my interest has dropped so precipitously. My reasons include the following; (many of which have been stated by others prior in this […]

Excellent summary and well said indeed. After nearly 30 years of following the sport, I’m less interested in it than ever.
