I mean, yeah. Apart from Schumacher i dont know anything about f1Schumacher stopped racing long time ago, mate.
you do know Schumacher hasn't raced for years rightWht it lacks is a figure, apart from Schumacher i dont know anyone in f1 at the moment.
Yes i know. I stopped following f1 along time ago due to no names to connect to.you do know Schumacher hasn't raced for years right
Lewis is a fantastic figurehead for the sport. He might not be to everyone's liking, but neither was Schuwi.
edit: sky beat me to it
Oooh I member.The cars aren't as nice and colourful anymore

Member Aryton Senna and Alain Prost?
It's got to the point where I look at Bernie's sprinkler idea and think, "you know what..."I think bringing back fuel stops would be brilliant for the sport. nothing better than more potential strategies, with weather thrown in it makes the races that bit more unpredictable imo
Why did they take them out? Surely fuelling strategy was one of the big things in the sport?I think bringing back fuel stops would be brilliant for the sport. nothing better than more potential strategies, with weather thrown in it makes the races that bit more unpredictable imo
I think they took it out to stop all the overtaking being done with one car in the pits on a different strategy.Why did they take them out? Surely fuelling strategy was one of the big things in the sport?
Exactly this.I love it. There have always been dominant teams and drivers, that's the nature of F1. If you want to watch drivers fight it out in equal cars then there's the Indy series or many others. Having said that, the management of rules and regulations has been comical at times, and racing on tracks in virtually barren places with no atmosphere doesn't help either.
They tried that and it was shit. Was it called A1 or summat?Give everyone the same cars and actually have a race with overtaking instead of a procession...
How on earth do you know who the best driver is though?Best driver loses again, my last season watching this shite, signing out.

Which is not happening! The technology is not ground braking, the WEC cars are 10x more technologically advanced. In essence they've simply taken the technology from WEC and slapped it in F1 and called it a "prototype series". The technology in f1 is nearly 8 years old in WEC.Died? There's way too much money in it for that to happen. It's boring as hell but car nutters like it that way. F1, Nascar, doesn't matter. They just want to see the epitome of car technology put to the test.
Who is challenging now?Exactly this.
I've been watching since I was a child, I can remember watching the tail end of the 1993 season as a 3 year old so from my experience you effectively had the following:
Williams having the dominant car/engine package from 1991-1997 (Senna's talent in 1991 mixed with unreliability for Mansell. Schumacher's talent being the force against it in 94/95, plus possibly some Benetton/TWR shenanigans in 94)
McLaren in 98 and 99 (again with Schumacher being the fighting force against it).
Ferrari from 2000-2006 (with Alonso and the tire war being the difference in 2005-06.)
McLaren having it in 2007 and 2008 (screw ups and in-fighting cost them the title in 2007 when they really should've won it)
Red Bull being dominant from 2009-2013 (double diffuser getting Brawn over the line in 2009 but RB had the best car from the second half of that season onwards).
Mercedes from 2014-now.
McLaren were obviously the dominant force just before I was born for much of the late 80's and very, very early 90's.
Anyone's guess who will become the dominant force in 2017 onwards but one team will have undoubtedly the best solution to the rules, it's just whether there's a reason why they screw up or another team has someone with enough talent to fight against them.
It was classed a risk. I think the season or two before there were a number of instances of mechnics pulling the hose out too soon before the fuel got into the car and caused a fire.Why did they take them out? Surely fuelling strategy was one of the big things in the sport?
