Formula 1 – is dead!

FOX SPORTS | Formula 1 | Schuey wins six-car fiasco (June 20, 2005)

Forumla 1 is dead – Killed by the governing body FIA with michelen tyres as the weapon.

Well its not really dead, but the beaurocratic mess that is FIA and Forumla 1 now days is sad. I think that FIA have forgotten what F1 is about – its not about technological advancement – F1 tech does NOT make it into road cars (rallies and similar events in europe do though) its about fans watching extremely fast cars go round tracks extremely quickly. Its not a good thing for the fans with the rediculous rules imposed by FIA. I suppose that teams who have vast budgets are about to develop better cars than those running on smaller budgets and the Ferrari winning nearly everything in the last 5 years is not the best thing, but is the solution something which causes 7 teams – 14 cars not even able to START the race good?

If something this farcical happens again, a better solution is required – shorter race, allow tyre changes with points not being awarded to those who changed tyres? Something to keep the fans entertaind!

I’m glad I didnt bother staying up for this one!
