is anyone else in favour of an F1 only section? Might crystallise the debates on the pinnacle of Motorsport?

It makes sense. There are separate boards for minority motorsports like drag racing and the various ginetta series, I don't see why the most popular form of competitively going around a track really fast is lumped in the "general" board with the likes of tier 4 of the County Armagh off-road go-kart cup.

Surely F1 draws enough posts and has enough of a standing to warrant its own board?

Yay! More subdivisions, of subforums, and so on. Keep it as is.

I think it should have its own section. General motorsports sometimes gets over run with f1, and threads for other racing seems to get forgoten about. Ginetta has its own section why i dont know so a f1 section would be good.

There is simply no need to or benefit from segregating F1 out of General Motorsports. Sure, it might organise threads into well-marked categories, but this kind of segregation severely inhibits the flow of communication in the forums.

Ginetta, drag racing, etc. don't exist because they have a lot of posts. It's quite the opposite. They exist because they're specialised, don't have as much posting, and those topics would get lost in the fast-paced world of General Motorsports.

Or mayby general gassing is so full of f1 that ginetta, drag racing gets overlooked it works both ways. If there is seperate sections for ginetta then why isn't there a sperate section for rallying, touring car etc they often gets overlooked.

I'm perplexed by your standpoint considering everything else on here is segregated to death and repeatably re-catorgrised.

Oh dear!!
It's always been the way that when a forum is over run with threads it gets it's own forum created.

FWIW F1 isn't over running the Motorsport forum not by a long way

Hence MattDell's answer, so no point in flogging a dead horse IMHO.
