Formula 1 zzzzzz If you want great racing try watching MotoGP or World Superbikes ! Faring bashing at 180+ mph & endless overtaking & it's actually done ON the track & not just in the pits !!
Technically the cars are incredible but the ahem..'racing' is soooooo dull.
I did see the documentary on young Mr Hamilton, talented lad by the looks of it, hopefully he'll live up to his potential.
couldnt agree more
. f1 is interesting, but only to find who won, the races are a real drab spectacle, only really making sense if watched on tv .
Moto gp bikes have an 800cc engine, producing in the region of 240 bhp, which works out at the equivalent of about 1000bhp if scaled up ti f1 engine size. they dont blow up, and the same engine, can be and is used, for many races. the majority of riders reside in their own countrys, unlike F1 where it can often be a stipulation of your contract that you live in monaco,(so it the team pays you 10 million a year you don't pay tax and nether do they)!!!!
lol it makes me laugh when couthard, and co claim to be British, the greedy sods want us to follow them and spend our hard earned cash to see them, but dont want to give anything back to the country the claim to represent.
Rossi lives in London, and earns more than some F1 drivers.
and from an ecological point of view, even the screaming two stroke engines are far more economical than a F1 car. the truth of the matter is, far more about the running of economical internal combustion engines has been learnt with motorcycle engines in the past ten years, than in the entire history of F1. racing improves the breed, they used to say, can you think of anything from F1 that has really helped the average car? ABS? no banned by f1 developed by road car and bike makers. Active suspension? no banned by f1, developed by car manufactures. engine management? no developed by drag racers. automatic or flappy paddle gearbox? have you ever driven a car with this crap on it, they are horrible to use and more often than not hamper the cars performance.
i got Teletext for the F1 results and a tv for the bikes!
