camera angles that make it look slow
adding chicanes to every decent strait
not using circuits or having any change in elevation
fucking around with tire compound and max tires per season
ban everything that might assist the driver
ever shrinking fuel consumption limits
>if it were about the driver why not can everything but formula ford

jim clark was better

>Jim Clark was better
100% Agreed, but Stewart's still my favourite driver.
Mostly because he put his fame to good use trying to improve safety and teach people to be non-shit drivers.

at some point not even luck will help and skilled drivers were just being culled
>>14851118
Messed up my sentence.
He advocated better safety measures in formula 1 (run off areas, armco barriers on dangerous parts of the course, etc) and tried to improve the standard of driving among the general public.
One of his big revelations was that if a driver as skilled as Jim Clark could die behind the wheel, anyone could.
One of his driving documentaries is up on youtube at the moment:

The tracks are ugly and shit and the racing is usually very boring and predictable.
It's boring to watch.
>mechanical grip > aero grip
the cars can't run close to each other
>>14850883
It should be the pinnacle of engineering/technology/development and it simply is not, they are constantly making the cars slower to the point that they actually forced all the teams to run shit tyres on their car to slow them down.
It has become a moronic show of who can spend more money developing in a wind tunnel when it could be so much more.

>Open wheel
>"""""""""Racing"""""""""
>>14850883
It's shit, it's boring to watch, and there's no overtaking.
BTCC far superior. Overtaking, evenly-matched cars, cars I recognise, bumping and crashes everywhere, cars sliding off the track more laps than not, short races interspersed with other events.
>>14850883
aero package and retarded eurofag mentality of a GP car having any association with road cars to justify it needing a hybrid TT v6.
INDY cars look sexy. the low nose, rear wing positioned behind the wheels, shorter wheelbase, and overall aero package looks pleasing to the eyes.
IDK what F1 engineers are doing with their penis noses, ugly raised front end acting like this shit-on-wheels cant have a wicker or LDF without that american truck raised front end. I hate the front wing, how square it is, how it doesnt even flow with the body at all (looks like a body kit on a ricer). I hate the square rear wing, I hate the long wheelbase, I hate that all u see is the top of the drivers head (i get safety, bt here in the states we have this thing called "soap box derbies" look it up, they look like that). I bout raged when they wanted to be more like cars today and go low profile tires.
the aggressive sexiness that was pre-2010 got me into the sport. But these cars are hard on the eyes and ears.
>>14852757
This. Also, the V10 era with those screaming engines along with Schumi is what reeled me in. Since then I couldn't care less about F1
>>14852628
I'll never understand the american mindset
It's an overregulated time trial cake with an icing of pit lane strategy pretending to be a competition race.
>>14850883
As in most high level racing establishments, as soon as the big wigs lose a race to something new and innovative, said innovation is banned. All the cars look the same. It's just not interesting.
>>14850883
Because it isn't 2022 yet

That's not the cameras, that's just that the tracks are so wide.
>>14852628
>TOURING CARS HAS A DIFFERENT STYLE OF RACING THAN AN OPEN WHEEL SERIES WHERE CARS ARE ALL DIFERENT!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!
I would have never guessed!
>>14850883
Too boring. Too many rules. No innovation anymore. F1 died in the 80's
>>14852976
This. Too much money involved and too much to gain by maintaining a bloody status quo
>>14854035
Remember Imola?
Anything looked fast on there.
F1 is ok, but endurance racing is more interesting and touring cars are more fun. MotoGP does what F1 used to be better than F1 does.
it ain't NASCAR
>pic related
literally jesus
>>14850883
Safety car laps are fucking gay. I understand their existence, but it seriously ruins the race. That one with Hamilton winning for sure, and he ends up in third was absolute horse shit. I wasn't rooting for the guy, but it was simply unjust.
I like the idea of the virtual safety car way better.
I'm indifferent about most of the rules. I think the blue lights are okay, although I understand a lot of people don't like it. Personally, I don't want to see some slow asshole holding up the front of the line.
I'm not really privy to the design aspects, other than it's a TT v6, and I like the way MB did theirs. I do enjoy the innovations that can take place, even in stringent restrictions.
Also, every fucking race:
>"The red lights of course are indicating to the driver behind about the ERS charging. The cars do not have brake lights."
Yeah, we all know.

It was brutally murdered in 1994. So many things were banned that year.
I have no problem with F1
In fact, I refuse to even consider a girl if she hasn't been a race queen at least once.
What's the point of a woman if she hasn't held an umbrella?
>>14852757
>shorter wheelbase
current car with v6 engine has the same wheelbase as when they had v8s not long ago
just now there is a super long gearbox case that bridges the gap
>>14859630
Can the FIA just please fuck off with their non-safety related regulations?
Thank you.
>>14859643
Perhaps if you agreed that "More Money = More Wins", sure, yes
Otherwise literally fuck off and never come back
They give shit drivers like Hamilton and Vettel season dominating cars but give living legends like Alonso and Ricciardo shitty cars they are lucky to get on the podium with.
>>14859670
define "they"
>>14850883
This >>14850907 In a way, Schummy might have been the worst thing to ever happen to F1
Also, F1 was a hell of a lot more interesting when you had different cars on the track (Turbocharged vs NA for example) Everyone having the exact same car cause "Muh Regulations" has turned the sport into boring shit.
