Ok, I’ll be honest, as much fun as it is to see two 4x world champs duke it out in quali and the race...and the other 4 follow them around, I think I would rather see in the tv cameras show the wheel to wheel action in the middle of the pack.

Personally Ive become a hulkenberg fan, but also like what Magnusson is doing at present.

Any thoughts out there...

You only have to look back as far as the last race to see an example of great midfield racing being missed by the television director while they show the Mercedes running line astern. There was a great battle with Grosjean, Hartley, Ericsson and Hulkenberg which didn't get the attention it deserved. Grosjean made up four places in the closing laps.
Agreed, hopefully F1 full fat tv will let me watch what I want to watch!

Wow great stuff!

I can only imagine the strategy guys looking at what each of the other teams are doing, it’s really balanced.

I know that some of the teams have been criticised for “letting” the Front runners through when they are displaced, but they really can’t afford to defend for too long as that is not there race.

Or the neck of a Renault executive.
Same problem as last year, did not make enough bits for them so they are re modelling the ice and mgu components, ala “triggers broom”.

Although if Rev bull used the fuel they were supposed too with the right engine modes perhaps the engines would stay in tact.
