Because F1 has, will, and should be - to a certain extent to the detriment of the 'show' and driver aids - a technological arms race.

If I wanted entertainment then I watch NASCAR. From a technical standpoint the homogeneity of the COT had sucked the life out of it. Gone are the days of Jeff Gordon driving a T-Rex, a car built specifically to push the envelope of the rules and made the rest of the garage and NASCAR sit up, take notice and ban it.

:laugh:

A sport? :confused:
What kind of sport is that where 99% of the work is done by a mechanical device aka engine?! And where the engineers count for like 70% of the final outcome!
I always thought it was a technology exhibition where the best car manufacturers show what hey can achieve.

One teams of engineers/designers competing to build the better race car against teams.

The key word being competition. That has been the essence of racing.

Don't like it? Watch NASCAR, IRL, GP2, WSR or better even better - Go read a bloody magazine!

Almost all Sports are reliant on Technology even if it's a runner with space age designed sneakers, advanced fibre materials and specially designed axcercise and training devices.

At the end of the day, it's the nut behind the wheel that turns it otherwise we wouldn't have anything to compare drivers against. Is Hamilton agressive with a tail happy technique? Is Button measured and acurate? Does Massa have the equalivent of a glass jaw when under pressure?

Technology is hugely important but I like to think that a driver has a small part to play as well.
