british grand prix - and some questions???
Discussion
I want to se re-fueling out too. Unfortunately it will not stop pit-stops. Refuelling was banned from 1984 to 1993 inclusive but we still had plenty of pit-stops in that decade. However, the races were less "sprint and go" dashes than they are today and occasionally someone would try and run an entire race on one set of tyres.

F1 has its head so far up its own arse, untill things improve ill devote my weekend to the Moto GP.
Now you're talking... in fact, virtually all other motorsport on TV is more interesting than F1 at the moment.
Every other Sunday or so, I forget myself and end up getting depressed watching the boring shite, only to get fooled into watching the next race when someone out qualifies the sausage eater!... When will I learn?!!
It's a bit like hoping that Henman will finally win Wimbledon, or that England will win the World Cup....

Being boring is one thing, but being patronisingly told how exciting it was by the ITV presenters just makes me irritated

While it does get boring seeing Herr Schummie winning all the time, he and Ferrari are on top of their game and show all the others up. The opportunities have been there, just other teams/drivers failed to realise or exploit them.
The rules and indeed the circuits need to be altered to encourage more actual racing ON the circuit. One way would be fixed time pit stops for all teams, so if you want to pass you need to actually do it on the circuit rather than by pit stop strategy.
To go from 4th to 1st without racing another car on track is dull beyond belief for the paying audience.
James Allen should be allowed to continue as an F1 commentator, but only if he stands on the outside of the exit to turn 1 at the start of every GP. That should shut the bugger up.
