You know what would make F1 more exiting? Big spikes that come up though the ground which lift the car up.

Have a lottery where the team doesn't know if it will get a lift or an impaled driver during the race. I'm sure Bernie would approve.

would certainly add additional pressure on hitting your marks. Attention: Former Manor F1 driver Will Stevens was driving the W racing team Audi during the first stint. edit: it's car 28. learnincurve fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Apr 24, 2016 |

With DRS, Shumi would've just opened the flap and breezed past on the finish straight. No way Alonso could've defended from that short of straight up blocking or intentionally falling behind at the detection point.

Maybe elaborate on why you feel that way??? i don't think the results of races are different just because they are watched by different people. DRS has been around for awhile and it has quite clearly not ended close battles. if anything it has encouraged them. how often have you seen the trailing car get a slightly worse exit from the corner prior to the DRS line and been unable to make the pass? it's not a guaranteed overtake button unless the trailing car is massively faster, which is kind of the point. if anything you should ask mr hefe why a battle between two closely matched cars would be ruined by DRS given the literally zero examples of that occurring

It being next to impossible to overtake without a massive time advantage because of dirty air was much, much more serious and damaging a problem than whatever DRS is. DRS isn't about giving the car behind an advantage. It's about trying to neutralize the effect of turbulent air which gives the car in front an inherent advantage.

furthermore that race is overrated as poo poo and I can name like at least ten races in the horrible DRS era that kick that race's rear end

Anyone who claims that F1 was better in 2005 than it is now should be brutally and insanely murdered. That season was so overrated at the time because of the novelty of Ferrari not winning everything. I hate that stupid no-tire-changes rule so much.

It's such a shame what F1 has become, I hope we can one day go back to the glory days of the 2005 and 2006 seasons.

Honestly one of my favorite seasons was 2008, two teams that could win any weekend plus a few other competitive cars that were able to challenge and got wins too, it was a great fun season, unlike the last 3 or 4 including this one which have been completely loving awful.

lol. It won't be the decider on May 1st, it will probably go down to the wire and be decided on the 15th of May. It's because they are playing Man U which is the only team the yanks care about. For those not following this story, It's like if Haas were in for a real shout of winning the WCC next year.

be nice wicka posted:that might be an understatement, tbh Leicester City = Brawn GP Team literally on the brink of dropping out of the top level of the sport one season, shows up with a change of management structure at the beginning of the next and blows everyone away whilst the usual top runners are tripping over in bouts of hilarious drama and stupidity. Also in this scenario I guess Tottenham Hotspur are Red Bull (showing up in the runners up spot thanks to a late season surge, and everyone hates them).
