New F1 fans I meet are split into two. Those who want to learn about F1 and love the racing and are interested. The others are those who say. "More Crashes is what F1 needs"
The latter F1 could do without atracting.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

And even then (assuming you're an old time fan), are you putting on your rose tinted glasses again and conveniently forgetting parallels with the past? Because dont forget in past eras, drivers would nurse the cars for a large percentage of the time because reliability was so bad and the engine might blow up or they'd run out of fuel if they kept pushing.I am anaspeptic, pharismotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation.

Nostalgia is different for everybody depending on your age. The early to mid 90's was an era I enjoyed the most but no doubt those watching from 2000 onwards will be able to draw differences to now and remember what they enjoyed about their preferred era.
