Re: Formula One Motor Racing

I have to agree that last Sunday's F1 GP was probably the most boring I've ever seen!

I got back in time to watch the "highlights" but there *weren't* any!

Listening to the commentators afterwards, one said that apparently Renault had calculated that with the modern car designs, you have to be *eleven* car lengths behind someone else to avoid the "dirty air" caused by all the spoilers that give the cars their massive amounts of downforced.

I also agreed with his comment that the sport needs to do some seriously hard thinking about the aerodynamic setups because unless you have a circuit like Bahrain, the older ones remove practicaly any chance of the sort of slipstream overtaking manouevres the sport used to see
