Ferrari Mailing List: Re: F1

Shucks rick, et al – and this comes on the heels of my greatest disappointment emanating from the Russian GP.  Bernie and Vladimir, in the stands, sitting next to each other - -  WITH THEIR SHIRTS ON.  I mean, c’mon – what is this?  Rough tough cream puff time?  Whadda sham.

Alas

Hey Gang, 

 

It's F1-eve-eve and I'm wondering about what the future holds for F1. COTA is awesome but the grid is only 18 cars. Bernie warns that the grid could be even smaller for 2015, if something doesn't change! He also goes on to slam the 2014 power plant, and I have to agree. It is so freekin' complex that random errors are affecting the championships. And of course, the cars now sound like ricers. Now we have speed limiters activated remotely by Race Control! That is SO stupid. Perhaps Whiting will realize that when momentum puts some front wing up the ass of the remotely emasculated leading car!

 

Yes, I still watch F1 but I no longer get up at 6:00am, excited to watch. And if I am 100% truthful, I fast forward through the boring bits and endless stream of commercials. The excitement is gone - and its not Mercedes or Ferrari's fault. Its like F1 has gone politically correct. Gag.
