Absolutely. Three engines per season, so they cant thrash them. This is why Hamilton turned his down today and cruised around for a safe second place. Its mind bogglingly stupid.  Two, four time champions on the track against one another for the first time ever, and they cant really get stuck in and race each other. >:(  >:(
I only watch it now to watch Hamilton, as I believe he is one of the very greatest of all time. When he finishes, I shall probably stop watching altogether, after more than 40 years of viewing.  :'(

Yes...I thought it was a race rather than an economy drive. :-\

I went to watch some paint dry half way through.

Turned it on this morning at about 7, saw Vettel leading, switched over to the news channel.
F1 being crap, lady football commentators........it's going to lead to me cancelling sky sports, I think. I like watching tennis and, perhaps, a bit of golf, but those two alone aren't enough to keep me paying.

F1.  ::)

Although seeing as I'm getting to the age where the women are baggy and saggy and I seem to be increasingly invisible to sexy young things, it's probably a fair question.  ;)  ;D

Not watched F1 for years,that non-contact racing ::) known as British Touring Cars is a lot more entertaining.MotoGP has-or had-a 6engine per season rule,never stopped them engaging in a bit of paint swapping at times!

It should be 200 miles/2hrs of going non-stop hell for leather racing, and FFS ban pit stops that are only there to add some false interest that somebody may get in front of another, without actually overtaking.

Which is exactly how Vettel won the race today, and Schumacher won many of his. Its fickin ludicrous.

Didn’t get to watch the highlights until last night, for various reasons, and wish I hadn’t bothered! I know Australia isn’t known for overtaking but that really was dull! Glad I don’t pay for the channel any more ::)

More excitement in one lap of Moto GP than a whole season of F1.
