What a boring race

[Garry Walker]

I said before that no refuelling will make the races boring, just like they were in the beginning of 90s and in 80s, complete processions.

So what happened today? All leaders pitted within a 3 laps for new tyres and that was it, no action on track.

BORING.

But then it became super!!!

It was the track as much as anything. Bland featureless desert with a stupid twisty middle bit, all because of Bernie's desire to kiss Arab backside.

Barely any overtaking, poor camerawork and directing, Legard and Brundle sounded asleep, I can't be bothered to write any more!

Roll on Australia

Yep a bore fest even if I like the outcome.

And no it hasn't anything to do with the track, which with 3 straight provides at least 3 overtaking possibilities per lap.

It has to be with the idiotic rules about tires.

Yep I agree, it was just what I expected. It not as easy to get things wrong strategywise as before, so dull races ahead.

That too, but IMO if they could start the race on whatever tire they wish and wouldn't have to use less suited tires too, maybe things would be a bit more alive.

But then everyone would still use the same strategy :P

Not sure about that. It depends on the performance difference between the various tire compounds.

Mark my words, refuelling will return pretty soon.
