This thread is dedicated to all F1 lovers in this forum
So lets get a Discussion started

This years season(2011) has been one of the most boring seasons according to me. Too one sided.

 

[Vyom]

Nothing to discuss here.
I wasn't able to get tickets to the sport.

 

[thetechfreak]

So no one doesnt follow the sport even on TV?

One of the most controversial crashes ever which almost made a fight between Micheal Schumacher and Coulthard

[Vyom]

Looks like you are more interested in fights then the sport itself!
Anyway... "almost" fight doesn't pump the adrenaline here in India, but the actual fight does!

Saw this moment I think a couple of years bac probably in Discovery in some Micheal Schumacher Tribute show. Loved the show.
Love the sport. Wanted to see the race. But Rs.35000 for the main grand stand seat is too much and out of reach of most Indians

 

[Vyom]

Yeah. Costs too much.
And then they complain, Indians don't have sporting culture.

 

[asingh]

They have tickets for 2500, 6500 too.

 

[thetechfreak]

They have tickets for 2500, 6500 too.

I know. But the main Grandstand is way way way tooooo costly

I think the way Vettel drives is phenomenal....I mean as compared to other drivers, during turns he hardly gears down...just awesome control

 

[thetechfreak]

Vettel byFAR has the best car. Give a similar cars to Hamilton, Schumacher and find out who is best

 

[abhidev]

@thetechfreak : i agree...having the right car too makes a big difference

Formula 1 for the last few years has become a presentation of the strength of the cars rather than the drivers. Too many lopsided contests and predictable results are ruining this game.

Maybe that's why I always think, every participants should be given cars with same strength, same make and modal.
Only then, would be the race truly fair.

I am attending Sunday's race. Camera's are not allowed they say. But I am planning to smuggle one (big one) in. Lets see whether I succeed. Is the security too strict? Anybody been to practice session today?

By the way, as per our tradition - today's honors were shared by:
