Each to their own but to me f1 equates to a dozen or so bluebottles buzzing around in a jam-jar. You can't beat moto gp for skill and excitement, plus you actually get some overtaking. Sometimes I just can't help myself! Sorry. :D

Prefer GT racing tbh. Or NASCAR. Or Indy Car. Or BTCC. OR WRC.

I could be accused of being out of touch, but I think it was better when Mansell was ploughing his way through the back markers threatening mayhem with anyone getting in his way, while Murray Walker shouted himself hoarse at the devilish jonny foreigner antics of Senna and prost et al :D

Must admit, that last lap today was crazy. Vettel crushed that gap, one more lap and he would have beaten Hamilton. Shame the driver I hate most won.....

Maybe Button should have moved to Mercedes and Hamilton stayed at McLaren

Too many stupid rules in F1 these days. It's Moto GP for me too - close racing and overtaking at over 200mph.

To add to my original post - and then if Webber is doing a bit too well, they just leave the wheel nut a bit loose..... As for his penalty at the next GP (if it takes place) - it's ridiculous... He had every reason to think that the driver in the 'sister' team car was taking a wide line to let him through - and then swung over and closed the gap on him when he had nowhere to go........ A racing incident at worst, surely.

Interesting conspiracy theory but what about the manufacturers championship?
It's worth big money to the team so not to be taken lightly.
