Chinese Grand Prix 2011, Shanghai International Circuit - Race 3/19

I've had enough now, Race weekends are just getting boring with Red Bull at present. I'm glad I missed the 'Schumacher years'

the schumacher years werent boring though as his main rival had a competitve car for the most part so races werent always garunteed to be won by a ferrari and pit stop stratergies often disguised who would win as you never knew how many stops or how much fuel someone was carrying.

no fuel stops = boring races imo.

some of the battles between schumacher and hakkinen/montoya/alonso were really good go look on youtube you will be despressed at how boring the sport has became back in the late 90's/early 00's defensive driving was fairly agressive still these days no one puts up a fight and overtaking is boring

You also didn't need to have the best car to sail through the field:

You're going to snap then. Several times this weekend. Multiple times this season as well I suspect. :p

I know! The guy must have said it 4 or 5 times, on race days alone, already!

My view is they should allow unlimited DRS, keep the KERS limit (7 secs), but allow unlimited power from it.. push them to develop something that will be useful for road cars and will mix it up amongst the teams.

As it stands, it's a pretty much constant effect.

The 1 move defensive limit is also too harsh.. allow the drivers to do what they want. I'm sure it's in neither of their interests to crash, and you can always penalise those that cause accidents if things get out of hand.

(This is beside the fact they should bin aero reliance etc).

Trust me the "McLaren are 2 seconds behind RB" post had me seething. Thats right McLaren are testing parts here, nobody else is.....
 
Im being a part timer and recording qualy, will be here bright and early for the race though :)
 
I'm actually wondering whether or not Ferrari should begin concentrating their efforts on next year's car. I'm sceptical of Ferrari actually being able to catch up with RBR, given the gap between Ferrari and RBR (especially in qualifying).

At this stage, I can't see anyone other than McLaren being able to take the fight to RBR.

You can't be serious? Just using points from a 1st place finish there are still 425 points available for drivers who get to stand on the middle podium this year, Vettel has 50 points... kind of early to make such statements.

The problem is that in certain instances it can be in a drivers interest to take another one out of the race , and the stewards / FIA arent always the best at being consistant with the penalties for doing it
 
Senna and Prost.

And more recently Piquet Jnr crashing at Singapore to allow Alonso to win, that was only found out a year later. Although I suppose that's not the stewards fault. :p
