F1 vs MotoGP

[Rawwr]

You see, no matter if this season of MotoGP has been perhaps a little dull at times in the racing, I'd rather have that than the bickering, arguing and childish primadonna attitudes of everyone involved in F1.

What a farce.

I used to get at stupid times to watch the F1. Not any more. Most races are decided in the first turn or the pit stops. And whatever happened to overtaking? Okay, there was a few manouvers yesterday, but overall, lacks the amount of close action we see in most rounds of MotoGP

The finishing in the f1 race was fairly similar to the qualifying, the odd bit of overtaking.

Plenty of action in the MotoGp.

Used to be an F1 fan but as others have said, the race is decided on turn 1 / pit stops - basically pretty dull to watch. Did I read they’re turning traction control off next year? Also, I much prefer the personality of MotoGP riders - they're much more characterful.

Racing in MotoGP is much more interesting to watch as the rider is so much more involved than an F1 driver. Having said this, the last few MotoGP races have been pretty dull to watch in an F1 style.

Agreed. I watch the first lap, then check out the result later. Better things to do.

No matter what happens in a Motogp you could never call it dull.I used to watch F1 but wouldn't even walk across the road to watch it now,F1 has to be the dullest motorsport around now.

Couldn't agree more. It's embarrassing.

Those were the good old days, these days it's settled in hearings and court rooms. Pathetic.

Yep, sadly as a car driver, racer and enthusiast - although I am making amends by wobbling around on a new Hornet this year - I agree with sentiments posted already. WORST for me is when a top guy like Alonso or Kimmi says something like "well I'm starting from well back in fourth on the grid so not much hope really" For F*?%S sake!!!!! You're a racer paid £millions and should be relishing the challenge! I'd fire a driver for talking like that. Equivelant MotoGP quote would probably be "well I broke my leg in two places last week, came off three times in quali and am starting from the back but will be going for the podium at least".

I think the later half of this season proves you can actually.

Definately! Randy de Puniet got his best ever finish (7th?) a while ago, whilst racing with a broken foot/ankle/wrist/shoulder (I forget which).

RdP came 2nd at Motegi, Dave

More of an incentive not to throw himself at the scenery again during a race. I think Lucio Checinello should hire someone to whack his knees with an iron bar before every race, that'll make him finish
