Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms 5th time

John, thats risking someones life I do not agree the safer the better , you cannot bring someone back once they are gone and there have been many TO MANY.

I wasn’t suggesting that F1 returns to the old and dangerous days John....just that narrower tyres and aids such as drs take away a lot of the visual fun and indeed skill. There needs to be a change in F1....it’s been acknowledged that viewing figures together with circuit attendance figures have been dropping.

Even though Seb didn't win his 5th, I still think he can do it IF Ferrari get them selves together. When Shumacher was there, in addition to being the best driver at that time he got the team that he wanted around him. I think that was Seb's weak spot so when the politics of Ferrari kicked in he lost a bit of focus.
I will concede that Hamilton is by far the best driver at the moment and he has the best car with a team that, apart from a couple of slips, have worked with him very well. Congrats to him but we really do need a new F1 as, although the racing has been much better this year, we still need to get some of the previous generations excitement back.
I have been watching F1 since the early '60's ( we used to cycle over to Brands Hatch ) and, apart from the awful death toll, the racing was much closer with nearly anyone being able to win. I do think the points situation needs looking at, the difference between the first 4 places is too great. Perhaps we could have a point or two for pole position or the fastest lap so that others outside the ( current ) big 3 could feel they had something to race for. At present, outside the top ten the only reward is tyre choice, big deal !!
So to sum up, well done Hamilton, get a grip Seb and every one look out for Max.

Yes well done Lewis but I'm with Jays on this one. I can't watch it, I find it dull as ditchwater, commentators irritating and the drivers characterless I'm afraid. I'd rather listen to Howard's shipping forecast 😀

I don't want it to be more dangerous just more interesting.

I think to enjoy F1 now, it has to be viewed as a whole. Not just as car racing.

There is far more to it than that and I for one will continue to watch it.

I would like to understand more about the Anti Murdoch feelings on here and why he is a crook.

I have no opinion on that, just keen to understand others points of view.

Well done Lewis, will he end up in a Ferrari in a couple of years......

Aerotaff,

Oh no, please don't let that happen. I would need to switch to Formula E.

There's been a fair bit of racing in the midfield this year - but they're a second or more off the pace of the front 3 teams. In terms of points per dollar spent, Force India are probably untouchable.

It would help the whole sport to share money a bit more evenly - to encourage more teams to enter, which creates space form more talent. (If teams have more money they'll have less need to take two pay drivers for their money alone).

Looser technical regulations would create scope for innovation, which might let a smaller team steal a few tenths for a while. And it would maybe reduce the number of midfield teams who just bolt the powertrain of the top 3 into their cars.
