Pre-qualifying was ridiculous. A team spends millions preparing a car, testing, and traveling to races--and then they don't get to race. A sponsor's nightmare.
The 107% rule should take care of the no-hopers, but to be reasonably quick and denied to race?
I've always loved F1 the way it is . . . so I miss everything that has passed (except pre-qualifying).

I miss the early 90's. There was engine variety in manufacturers and layouts (V8, V10, V12, W12, Flat-12, the lot) and the 30+ cars that used to battle so they could even make it to the race, let alone win it; and with that, the environment then which was a lot more relaxed than nowadays. I'm glad I got a live glimpse of it all as a baby
But I think from now on I will miss the Renault works team as well, always my favourite team.

If a Life-like outfit want to spunk large money on failing, that's their problem. What is OUR problem is a modern-day Jordan being denied entry behind a Life/US F1 type outfit.

Even though I never got to see him race live, whether at the track or on TV, I miss Ayrton Senna.

Mechanical failures - remember those?
Also, when a driver spun off, it was onto grass or gravel so he was usually out. Back then, mistakes were actually punished!!!SPAM - Going off topic to give you the deals you don't want.

I miss Tyrrell. Every year, launch season was a blast because you never knew what you'd get. From six wheels, to raised noses, to the x-wing. Some of it was as ugly as a mother-in-law with an avocado facial, but at least they were willing to innovate.
