Sadly I agree with this. All the tyre management etc.... Let them crank the cars up and sodding race like they used to.

As was mentioned by Dan in an earlier post they need to massively restrict the aero side of things. Even before **** tyres, DRS and KERS there wasn't much action going on when compared with the 70s and 80s. All the complaints where that there was no overtaking. The three things mentioned were introduced in response to that rather than do the obvious thing and restrict aero thus making it about the engine and driver. Vettels dominance has just exacerbated the feeling of boredom around the sport right now.

Sadly I don't think anyone in F1 thinks there's an issue with the sport right now so nothing will happen.

I hope and pray the new regs massively shake up the order next year and when teams are finally getting on top of them in a couple of years, change it all again.

So they're 1-2 atm again.

The RB car is at least a second quicker than everyone else, it's not even a race anymore.

Just switched it on, first race I've seen any of for ages, its compelling stuff. This is what F1 is all about. Man vs machine vs the track vs the weather conditions vs ability to stay awake.

Really good race.

I hate the rule that lapped cars can unlap themselves (especially with DRS). Even if they pass through cleanly, the likelihood is that they'll be holding the other driver up again even though they're technically 1.5mins behind.

Hamilton didn't expect Bottas to try and overtake him and he touched, then he gets a drive through penalty.

Madness IMO!

Once the championship is over they should strap on bumper car bumpers and ram each other off the road.

Good race but overall the season has been a bore. I don't like the rule of drivers getting drive through penalty's for touching or coming together.

I think the problem is, the racers are too nice. You have a cocky cunt walking every race, why havent the others had a word and driven him off the track at the first corner? Just drive into to back of him. Where's the pride? Surely someone is envious enough to have a poke?

[G]

They should be allowed to get up to some Mario kart high jinkery.Fire a shell at the cunt as he enters the first corner then lob some banana's at him as he pulls into your slip stream for the overtake.

Spot on there. If you look at some of the great drivers of the past their ego and pride was almost too big for the car. Someone like vettle coming up against a Schumacher, Senna, Mansell in their prime wouldn't stand a chance.

There's no one in F1 at the minute that has that edge to them with maybe the exception of Alonso. I also don't like the way the cars are the past few year and the rule taking away refuelling when pitting.

I'd love to see the cars being allowed to go back to Turbo's and all the drivers aids being taken away. Put it back in the drivers control and give F1 it's edge back.

I remember Mansell wiping out Senna after he had a black flag when he was at Ferrari.

And of course, Senna wiped out Prost for the title after Prost did it to him.

The cars are going back to turbo next year.

Now that was F1. Not like the watered down procession we see today.

Thank **** this bore fest of a season is over and done with, let's hope next season with the changes it's at least mildly competitive
