Even when Schumi was winning everything was it THIS boring.

Maybe the new breakaway series by Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, Toyota, BMW Sauber, Brawn GP, Red Bull Racing and Toro Rosso will be a LOT more interesting. :eek:

I still think its a negotiating ploy though. The logistics of putting together a rival series are immense! But the problem is that the FIA is not budging on their stance, thanks to Mosley, IMO.

So as it stands, only 10 cars will be lining up on the grid of an FIA sanctioned race:

As for F1, their series as it stands today comprises Williams and Force India, who were forced to break with FOTA due to their own contractual obligations, and three new entrants in Campos Racing, Team US F1 and Manor F1 Team.

Williams FINALLY has a shot of winning a championship again. :D

Yes when shummi was winning everything it was actually worse to be honest.

I actually stopped watching f1 for awhile because of the shummi domination, there is excitement at least this year, the rest of the field is competitive, days of shummi it was far worse than this i think.

Yeah very exciting... pffft... Brazil last season was epic, probably the most spectacular finish to an F1 season of all time. The championship was literally won and lost in the last 10 seconds of the last race of the season...

This years championship is already done and dusted...

exciting??!!! You must be joking?!!!!

This is what happens when McLaren try to be too clever for themselves.

It's like cricket...having the runs on the board is better than nothing.

why were they waiting for the last lap to drive a "hot lap"...its not as if they were going to get pole by surprise. Get a friggin safe top 15 spot, then see what happens to the hot lap.

Serves them bloody well right.

for the SuperBru i really dunno what bets to place.

Vettel is yet to FOCUS in a dry race...always throws P1 away with some silly mistake/strategy (full this time)...

R.B is a case of can he find 1st gear on the grid :)

So imho Webber has a good chance at this one.

Button i cannot see winning, webber i dunno hey but vettel for me looks like he can do it today, he has messed my superbru up many times before hehe.

That redbull looks a different class this weekend, hamilton i do not think would have made to q2 anyhow, that car is a dog. Interesting to see hamilton doing so poor in a bad car, i mean he can barely make it into q2 these days. I am not so sure his car was capable of getting into q2 in all honesty anyhow.

Not much real racing? Did you see the fights at the back of the field?
