Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Crisis ? What crisis ?

[John Ashburne (jashburne]

Midfield races could be interesting if they weren't 2 seconds/lap behind the Mercedes team and 5 seconds/lap behind race lap records set 6-10 years ago. 

I'm more interested in sports car racing these days, particularly the production based classes although even they suffer from excessive handicapping to make them " more even".

Well, even though 1^st and 2^nd might be easy enough to predict, I still enjoy watching the midfield battles. If you get the F1 app, you can see gaps changing constantly, what tyres drivers and on and even how many laps they’ve done on them….and how many stops they’ve had. I’m fascinated by it. No doubt I’d be a little miffed if I had nothing to concentrate on apart from what’s shown on tv alone.

I think I'm also in that camp.  I still appreciate the driving, and tallent required to wring the most out of those high-strung machines, but the races haven't been too exciting since we saw 6 or 8 different winners a couple of years back.  In fact that might have been the most exciting season (or, first half of a season) since I started watching in the mid-80's.  Even back then, and through the 90's and 2K's, it was really one or two teams and/or drivers dominating.  I used to watch strictly to root for Ferrari (and do still like to see them "prosper"), but now I'm more interested in good competition (or would be, if we had it....).

 

Tangentially, both of my Tag Heuer F1 watches have dead batteries.  Coincidence???  You decide....  ;-)
