yeah the most open race of the season on paper and Ferrari walked it.. Trouble is there is no overtaking going on further down the order either..

Just think back to France and Silverstone.. 2 of the best overtaking moves i've ever seen. It wasn't a late braking move down the inside.. Wasn't even a pass round the outside. No what happened was Shuey went quicker than the other car he was racing while it was in the pits and ended up in front. i remember i was talking about that for all of 0 seconds afterwards it was that good.

That i think is the problem with F1 at the moment. How many times have we heard people say " you can't pass i had to wait for the stops" and whenever the team engineers get interviewed mid race it's never were racing this car in front were are trying to go quicker and pass the car on the track it's we're trying to change the strategy to overtake.. We need to keep the cars on the track the whole time that way they HAVE to pass on the track.

If we had some overtaking further down the grid.. like we did in 92 when Mansell swept all before him on in 88 with McLaren won nearly all the races but still raced each other and we had battles further down the grid as well.

Think we also need to ban balast as well. it seems ludicrous that in the safety consious F1 we have today they build the cars underweight and then add balast to the cars to help the handling. Surely the extra weight should go into making the cars stronger ?

i think they should also ban all the telemetry \ sensors that way if you had the best driver in a Minardi he could use his own driver skill to set the car up better and would be able to make a different. At the moment it's all down to the computers and simulations.
