Ferrari Mailing List: Re: **SPOILER** Don't any of you WATCH F1 any more?

[Mike Fleischer (themightytoe]

Honestly I think canceling the race was the right call, and so was 
holding it at a later time for their main audiences...  Though it would 
have been cool to see them all swamp rat through the track a bit longer.

Seriously though, two races into the season and we have probably seen 
more passing and actual racing than the last 10 seasons offered up!

I like the new aero rules.  I like how twitchy the rear end of the cars 
has been...  Watching these guys correct at every corner is amazing.

I like the KERS 6 second boost, Alonso clearly was using that down the 
straights, you could see his car kick a bit and just zip away even when 
it was heavier...

So what if Ferrari and McKlunken can't get it up...  Seriously, some 
rule changes and they are out of the running completely, true impotence 
there.

Here is to an actually interesting season of actual F1 racing!

I like the surprise of Brawn GP and Toyota kicking butt and taking names.

The piss poor coverage you can keep, and the constant judging everything 
after the fact as well...

Mike
