"Formula 1 is getting old." Darren Heath

Your initial comment was highly dismissive of the entire medium which is why I wrote what I wrote. I do agree that blogs etc are far far more informative, but Twitter has its uses as well especially in a rapidly changing environment where information through official channels is either slow, inaccurate or both. You just have to learn when its an appropriate channel to use. You can see from the way newspapers and news agencies actually directly put tweets on their websites in crises or situations like Syria where information is scarce that Twitter definitely has a very serious role to play. For F1 of course that could mean teams informing fans why a driver retired minutes after the event and so on.

Completely agree.

I personally feel the vast majority of content Twitter unappealing.

On a separate note as a new father I'm looking for F1 toys to get my son interested in the sport. There is nothing whatsoever out there beyond generic open wheeler based toys.

I supposedly grew up in the golden age of Matchbox and Hot Wheels products and yet even when I were a kid, there still wasn't very much in the way of current motorsports toys even then. Short of the Lancia Delta Stratos in Alitalia colours, there was very little indeed.

On a separate note as a new father I'm looking for F1 toys to get my son interested in the sport. There is nothing whatsoever out there beyond generic open wheeler based toys. In fact there is very very little out there to encourage young kids to engage in the sport, and I'm speaking as someone actively looking forward to getting their child hooked as a fan. This is a serious problem that F1 needs to address, especially compared with the efforts football teams go to.

AFAIK the only brand that has a 3 inch (or 1/64) diecast car for children replying a real F1 is Majorette. You could see they have Vettel and Webber Red Bull RB6 miniatures in their catalog. And, if you look at Hot Wheels nowadays, since 2010 they're selling a diecast of the Tyrrell P34 F1 six wheeler of 1976, albeit in fantasy colours.

A few years ago by pure chance I found Hot Wheels F1 cars in a supermarket, I bought every single one, I never saw them again in any store:

I think that's more or less what the point of the title of this thread is. F1 could do with a new way of having the fans relate to it. Different ways, in fact, and to go with what works best, not to fix something that's wrong now, but to keep the sport interesting for the future.

I think I am getting old.



Not sure about the toys, but as a kid, my dad took me to see Grand Grix at a three screen cimearascope theater. Like it was meant to be seen. That hooked me more than anything, including toys, car models, books, etc.

guess that is why i still think the cars from 66- to 67, before the winged crap, was the best ever

happy father's day
