Bottom post of the previous page:
Yes, FIA brought in a new (old) problem (solution) to fix the problem caused by wings. This was a backwards way of fixing things. And we ended up with porpoise-ing cars (that should have been no surprise). Did not hear Martin Brundle's comments, but the cars are too big. That is an easy one to fix. I have always been neutral about the engine regulations. We obviously really don't want to go back to NASCAR-like old normally aspirated engines (although a lot of people have recommended this). F1 does need to move forward and electric does appear to be the future.PTRACER wrote: ↑1 month agoGround effects were brought in to help overtaking, but it made no difference because the wings (and the cars) are still huge.Ruslan wrote: ↑1 month agoMy most radical proposals are that we need to ban wings and ground effects and require the cars to be physically smaller.PTRACER wrote: ↑1 month ago Agree with everything that has been said so far. Like @Ruslan said, F1 is stale. It's not the F1 I fell in love with either. I can't really understand the kind of person who enjoys the predictability of having the same driver winning over and over again seemingly without challenge.
As for my view of the race, I don't think it was all that bad, but the timing wasn't good for me with the race start at midnight. I put my phone down when I physically couldn't keep my eyes open anymore thinking I could listen to it, next thing I knew they were doing the post-race interviews.
It seems that Ferrari and Mercedes still have a few technical issues to resolve before their cars are 100%.
Actually did anyone hear Martin Brundle's comment during the race? He plainly said "I think these cars are too big and switching to these kinds of engines was a mistake".
