Have to agree. K.I.S.S. Adding complexity just puts the cost up.
F1 to consider AWD from 2021

1) I agree, the racing is usually incredibly boring, especially since 2014.
2) Mercedes more than most try to neuter it (see Abu Dhabi, which from their perspective made it more exciting for all the wrong reasons)
3) Ferrari haven't dominated since 2004, 17 years ago, and the vain photo finish attempt was in Indianapolis, not Austria.

You've got to be kidding me. Which other top team let's their drivers race like Mercedes? Had Red Bull, Ferrari, or McLaren had the advantage they had over the last three seasons, it'd have been worse.
Soldato
Every team other than Ferrari.
Mercedes have been on overtime trying to tame their drivers until Rosberg retired. Prior to Abu Dhabi as I recall the last time another top team applied team orders for a podium finish was multi-21 more than four years ago.

In theory Sky could sell a highlights package (or even the full race if they wanted to) to a FTA channel. It doesn't seem likely though.
I tend to agree with this, although it is good to see the cars going so much faster this year.

F1 should do what the WWE did... release their own platform where fans can watch every race live, a catalogue where every old race is available on-tap and the behind the scenes type documentaries for those looking for more.
I haven’t watched wrestling seriously for 15 years but I subscribed when the WWE network launched (as I wanted to check it out) and for £9.99 it was awesome. As I described above doesn’t do justice.
Imagine a world where you’re paying purely for F1, have access to every session, old races and documentaries for less than a tenner! Shame that they signed the TV deal and that Sky would likely sue them to buggery if they did that... would be good though!

Straight line speed was higher last year due to lower downtown and narrower cars.

Who cares how quick they are in a straight line? They come alive in the corners, not on the straights. It's not drag racing.

V8 Supercars has this for international fans in Superview. Only covers the current season for qualifying/races but is dirt cheap (~£27/year!). Great deal and I hope it keeps going!

Maybe even the WWE too if i can watch the RAW era on repeat!
You can, come join the fun!
Yes I find the F1 very boring lately. The races based on very scientific. (Spreadsheet). They have to drive at time of 1.20.xx per lap for first 20 laps then 1.19.xx for the rest of the race to save tyres and fuel. Etc
Almost every race, first person took the first corner wins the race.
I ditched sky cos I didn't think £35 ( even it was half price deal!) Was worth it at all.
In the last 12 months I watch F1 on CH4 and nowTV for £6.99. to be honest the in last few races on nowTV I wish ive watched the highlights on CH4 later in the day.
Might as well shorten the race to half, ie 30 laps so they'll flat out to first position, unlimited tyres, to make the race more interesting
