Has F1 become boring?

[tommy2k8]

Am I the only one on here (all my friends say it too) that, after the first few laps, now, F1 is boring?

Touring Cars is better, a lot better.

F1 has changed the rules too much, and I was really looking forward to Bahrain, after all the hype about the drivers!

ITV is better than BBC?
Touring cars are better than F1?

Are you and your friends on the right forum?

Depends what you define as "boring".

I find soaps, reality TV shows, and shows with Z-list celebrities arsing about on an ice rink or in a ballroom to be mind-numbingly boring, but a large chunk of the population seems to disagree with me going on TV ratings.

The only things boring about F1 are the politics, the number of tyre manufacturers and the rate of engine development. IMO of course.

I never use the word Boring.

Sometimes if I am talking to someone about F1 they will say its very Boring.
I always say its a Uneventful rather than Boring

As I don't see 24 drivers racing at up to 200 mph as boring.

People have been complaining about the boringness of F1 since forever.

Last year was an improvement over 2008, but refuelling was very exiting, remember what happend to Raikkonen in the pit lane last year?

Now things are boring again.

It's always been boring - if your idea of exciting racing involves lots of banging wheels & rubbing fenders, or 2 lap sprints to the finish, or weekly handicapping of cars to achieve closer finishes, or running whole laps without ever lifting off the throttle, or even whole races consisting of nothing but highlight clips.

Touring Cars is better, a lot better.

Obviously!

Apparently Bernie isn't too bright. He thinks the teams should volountarily make their cars easier to overtake? He long ago forgot what racing was, he judges only on what makes him the most money.
