Anyone else really feel F1 is very sterile now? So much talking about the regs, money saving, strategy, penalties and radio conversations?
What happened to pushing a car to breaking point? To driving on the ragged edge and risking spinning or crashing? Cars blowing up and the uncertainty that a car may not make the end? Too wheel to wheel racing? To battling on track without a free DRS pass? To the art of defending and to only 6 cars finishing some races
All that added together made F1 enjoyable, unpredictable. The line up changed most seasons, dramatically sometimes. We seem to have almost no motor racing anymore. Or not what I recognise as car racing anyway. Men/women & cars at risk of mistakes and failures/accidents. That is what adds to drama for me.
While I hate seeing injuries, it has to be said motorsports rush is the risk and danger as well. That appears less evident now. Run offs the size of car parks at some circuits too.
Sorry just feel angry right now.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

Rumors of Aston Martin restructuring, and Newey will step down as team principal, or might be completely out. Of course, Aston Martin says nothing is going on.
