Things that are RIGHT about F1

[StevieBee]

I’ve long believed that looking for the good in life yields a happier outlook on things than constantly berating everything and everyone.

Now I’m not suggesting that F1 is perfect or that it is as good as it once was or that it has no faults – far from it. These are all things well debated amongst these here pages. What is discussed less so is what is right about it. What makes us still watch it and, dare I say it, “enjoy it”.

So, discuss!

A few starters for 10:

• A British world champion
• The return of The Chain
• Honda saved

And slicks!

James Allen gone to pastures new.
No commercial interruptions.
Narrower gap in team budgets.
Max Mosley one year closer to his use-by date.

In no other race series do I get goosebumps when the cars line up after the formation lap
Quite simply, when it's at its best, nothing comes close to it

I'm begining to form the impression that you don't like him very much

Also the fact that they're still racing in his country. For the time being anyway...

- Spa
- Silverstone
- Monza
- Monaco

The classic races which actually get me hyped up. Gotta be honest, I find the Asian autodromes quite tedious but these 4 races are something to look forward to. An F1 car through Bridge or Blanchimont is still a very special event.

Whoops - I meant to say 'this country', as in GB. I'll blame the sherries!

[mattikake]

No Schumi.

Without the effect he had, you wouldn't even feel the need to be asking this question F1 would be so good.

Next!

Closer to no refuelling during the race.
The teams taking more control of their own destiny again.

BMW
Suzuka, Turkey
Rosberg

It could be said that he is one year further from his use by date.
