Boring Sport - Page 10 - chrismoyles.net forum

yep. im just annoyed about the dullard comment thats all. if some people like football they are dullards yet if you like f1 its wrong to slate you for it. i actually still quite like motorsports, and f1 in general i find is watchable if im in on sunday afternoon and there is some rubbish match on i will watch the f1.

was it not the first post about F1 in this very thread entitled "Boring Sport"

the first post by you calling it boring?

no, it was an option in the poll, and has 6 votes for it (only golf has more votes at time of writing) so someone thinks it boring.

i used to watch F1 when i was around 10 with my dad. But I haven't watched it since then and he hasn't either. Mabie it's time for me to have a peep back into it... I do like cars and motorsport...

Do they let you hear the radios now? I wish they had let you do that when Jean Alesi ran out of petrol a few years back...

Stuff about Thatcher....

You are a disgrace and I'm looking forward to when someone you respect dies so I can rub your liberal face in it.

they probably wouldda had to censor that though.

Damn good race, especially for a track debut. No major start smashup but quite a few incidents, especially Montoya running well wide... a flatspotted tyre according to what they told Kimi on the radio. Shame there was only 2 different leaders, and that only changed, twice on lap 1.

Yeah the leadership was boring, but the TV directors do well at showing the action spots now. I think that is one of the reasons why it is so much better this season. When Schumy was leading they hardly used to pull away from him.

And to be fair to DemonHorse, 6 people who voted in this poll have said that F1 is boring.

Is anyone watching the new A1 racing series on Sunday??
Its a shame that a National team is not available to terestrial viewers.

I dont have sky so can't watch it. I think F1 will still be the no 1 motorsport.

i think its a good idea though. it will mean you will know who the best driver is.

Rally shows the best driver (imo), its mainly down to the skill of the driver and not nessercary the car. As it who can drive a car in difficult and dangerous conditions.

well its not because in a1 everything is the same. in rally the cars are different.

yes true about A1, but its not the car that wins rally drivers races (as long as they are reliable unlike Peaugot). It's the driver himself and how he can cope.

1 question I have about A1, I know the cars are the same but, can they have different set ups e.g the amount of downforce on wings etc, or is everything the same. (I dont know much about A1).

i think they are trying to make as much as possible constant. ie same amount of fuel, same tyres and so i guess there is a set perameter for things like flaps or whatever they are called that effects downforce. would be a bit silly if they could change them.
