    I disagree it's been boring...sure we have Vettel dominating the points but the battle between McLaren and Ferrari and then Renault, Merc has been good. Not the best season but certainly not terrible in many senses.

    There have been some great mid field battles this year, great back field battles this year, and at Monaco, China etc some great front field battles. With the exception of Valencia, this has been a GREAT season so far

    Sorry to say, but I think he will also win next years and the year after that.

    As Long as Adrian and Seb stays in RBR it looks promising.

    Don't be so sure. Newey has produced some duds in his career as well.

    I don't know about great, but yes, the battles are in midfield, if one pays attention to it.

    Dumbing (I guess this isn't even a word in English but I can't find another one right now) down the sport for the occasional viewer is bad for the sport on the long term.

    Pirelli know little about F1 racing tires, I guess they know even less about engines and EBD, so don't get your hopes high.

    True. They tried that with the WRC and look where it got them!

    Sometimes, lately quite often, I hope that F1 just loses out big time as I don't see any other chance for it to be steered again in the right direction.

    Ha'wey Hamilton, bring the WDC crown home and the beers are on me :up:
