What’s worse? The total absence of crash barriers, the way the women are filmed or that the fine for breaking F1 fuel limit rules was only 200 Deutschmarks? How times have changed.

Proper racing, proper cars, proper track, proper mental drivers, proper perving. The lack of all those things is why modern F1 is nothing more than a time filling exercise, if there’s nothing else on T.V. for me. This race sums it up really nicely.What’s worse?

Lovely stuff , agreed. But let's not forget that even then , drivers like Jackie Stewart were questioning the Ring's suitability for F1cars.And JYS lacked neither talent nor cojones .
What I mourn far more is the devaluing effect of far too many Grands Prix - 67 season had only 11 races - and , in the following decades , the loss of races such as Sweden, Argentina and South Africa . Instead , we get races in silly countries with no racing heritage or local enthusiasm , and on tracks with all the charisma of Watford Gap services .

Hear hear. GPs were ( relatively ) rare events, the drivers did other forms of racing as well, in between. The tracks were usually hardcore, with a proper racing heritage, and the whole thing was worthy of the GP moniker which is banded around willy nilly now. Overblown Karts on overblown Kart tracks, being ( increasingly) patronised by the backs to the track, prawn sandwich brigade, just depress me.What I mourn far more is the devaluing effect of far too many Grands Prix - 67 season had only 11 races - and , in the following decades , the loss of races such as Sweden, Argentina and South Africa .
