F1 is becoming a joke! It should be great drivers driving the car beyond it's limit. Squeezing every last 100th. It should be like Keke Rosberg in his tiny under powered Williams FW08c throwing it into to every corner in an attempt just to stay with the more powerful turbos. This is what we want to see. Not F1 passengers instead of drivers driving to the limitations of the tyres. I thought it was motor racing.......not motor tyre wear.......Come on Bernie. Give F1 back to the drivers and the fans. I was looking forward to 4 cyclinder turbo next year. Smaller engines might have enabled the drivers more input but they even had to change that to V6s. Let the designers have some creativity. All the cars look the same and I'm fed up with these stupid front wings falling to pieces every lap. F1 is a joke!!!!

another procession. What a terrible track. It's all hype. I'm sure the drivers like it because it's nice and fast and smooth, but again no real overtaking. We need to go back to scratch. No Kerrs, no DRS. Make a rule that the air passing over the car must smooth when it leaves the car so the following car gets down force. Let them block. If your in front it's up to the guy behind to get passed. If the stewards want to give penalties then make it a time deducted at the end so as not to rob us of wheel to wheel racing or a grid drop next race. Talking of hype, the commentators need to give it a rest about Vettel and Hamilton. Yes they're good drivers but both of them have been very fortunate to get into top teams. Vettel broke the record for laps lead today but he is no Mansel. Mansel did his time in average cars before he got his break and hamilto was born with a silver spoon because Berni needed F1 to be more divers. Lets get then racing and then we can see how good they are.

another very uninteresting quali today. Something else that needs to be changed. I think it would be better to go back to a single 1 hour session. This would mix it up a bit. Instead of the faster cars making it to the top we would have drivers from lower down the pack further up the grid and even on pole if they got a decent lap in before it started raining for instance. This would make for a more interesting race. For example best race by far this season was Canada. Button lost out in quali and had to make it all up in the race.

I was thinking recently, especially regarding F1 about how sterile the sport has become. Cars running at 75% so as to limit stress on the parts/engine/tyres etc. reduced speeds and tracks that promote driving round in order. I was thinking that this has changed racing. I was also wondering about the amount of so called incidents that are investigated by stewards, minor collisions, cars missing wings etc. Drivers sending their cars up the inside and the other driver slamming the door and ruining both cars. I think a lot of drivers feel they can take risks because the danger is now hidden because of the rules. I am a big fan of the 80s and have been watching many races. Cars and drivers on the limit lots of clean overtakes and great racing. Retirements were part of the games. It was a balance between speed and reliability. That has now been taken away from the teams/drivers and i think for the worst. I'm not saying we should go back but we need to give the sport back to the drivers. Everybody thinks 'it was better in my day' but ask yourself this question. How many current drivers would be able to get into a team in the 80's and 90's. Prost, Rosberg snr, Piquet snr, Senna to name a small few. They're not drivers now they're pilots! Please don't get in a twist it's just to start a dialogue
