[pauln]

Been up, watched race, back to bed, up again. Just the result I was hoping for .

[Vista]

Perfect!

 

Thrills, spills, spins, offs, crashes, safety cars, pit lane incidents, etc etc

 

The worlds most expensive motorsport is back with a bang and I look forward to more great racing!

I always said it was a bad idea to use drivers with aids. Now it's back to oldskool racing!

[bortaf]

Just up in time to re watch it again

F1 is , all overpaid over rated drivers and cars that have now been limited and held back on the technoligy that F1 was supposed to be about in the first place, and TBH i think most of us (except maybe the girls) wouldnt have a problem driving one of them cars and actually performing an overtaking manuovere in a real race situation.

 

Now give me touring cars anyday, at least its real racing!

The rest of your post is of course your opinion and misguided as it may be you're entitled to it.

 

However I suspect you'd get a surprise if you think that you could achieve the above. I've seen "normal" drivers getting into these cars and they all end up making a tit of themselves.

Biggest load of bollox I have heard in a LONG time! Although you are entiltled as anyone is to your opinion.

I take it you didn't see Top Gear when the hamster was given an F1 car to test drive, after stalling it a dozen times and finnaly doing a lap or two he admitted it was the hardest thing he has ever driven.

[Mrs O/H/C]

F1 IS THE NUTS !!!!

[zetecmk2]

watched it last night, watched it again today, great stuff!!!! oooh....the sound

[Durham Fiesta]

not a big fan of f1 as its usually so predictable and boring, prefer touring cars etc with some door to door racing, but judging by what i heard of last nights race it sounded pretty decent

Yes but we are talking about hammond here who even managed to crash a jet car in a straight line

Reckon you could do better with a blow out from a front tyre at 288mph. Be my guest just let me film it for youtube eh?

i agree hammond is a damn good driver and i remember seeing the top gear episode when he drove the f1 car and it lookd fooking hard! so much skill going into racing them. so delicate to race.

Nearly wet meself laughing

 

Although i will admit that on the surface touring cars are a more exciting formula, IF your into all the aspects of F1 it's as exciting as any other form of motor sport

OK it's an aquired taist and you really need to be into every aspect of the formula inc the pit stops and fuel stragagys but that just makes it a more complicated formular to follow, sometimes too complicated for prople to understand

what appart from he had a blow out at 280 odd miles an hour and lost controll?

Not seen any further investigation but TBH i'd had blowouts and 90 and they where bad enough to hold onto (well if i'm honist i didn't exactly hold onto it more went along for the ride and got lucky)

[X-pack-Glyn]

I prefer the touring cars as they are cars i can more relate too, i also find the racing much better to watch.

[bortaf]

I see your point but knowing how hard it is to drive an F1 car i find it amazing they even get round the first corner

i'd be on the start line wondering why i'd jus t been run over by so many F1 cars

 

I do enjoy the touring cars meself but it find it not as involved as F1, i guess i like the extra obsticals ivolved, which is strange as it does make it less about JUST the driver which is how it shouldn be really

I have to say loosing driver aids is the best thing to happen to F1 since LH turned up power sliding at 140 MPH just cant be beat in my mind especialy when it;s a full on 2 black line foot to floor one not the usuall snap oversteers lift off and hope type F1 has made us used to

 

I often get stick cos i cant stand football (with a passion) for probably the similar reasons you can't stand F1, over paid pansies rolling on the floor at the slightest knock, for feck sake back in the day footballers broke thier necks and still played on, now they chip a nail and have to be stretcherd off

[pelvins]

go on hamilton all the way !

couldnt have put it better!!!

[X-pack-Glyn]

Just a shame though they cant find someone who can release the full potential of an F1 car as they are all too worried about their hair cuts and health etc.

 

i mean if you was on that money would you push it? i wouldnt.
