It's over!

The 2013 F1 season is finally over. And Lord above didn't it drag? But let us celebrate the few good points from this season, all the great moments that briefly kept us on the edge of our seats.

Hmm. Maybe.....what about.....oh, but......no, but if you carry the 2.....divide by 6.....
Yeah. Not exactly a vintage season by any stretch of the term, made even worse by F1 fandom reverting to 2008 levels of lunacy and then, just for good measure, surpassing it. There were bright points, of course. I mean, there must have been some. I'm just struggling to remember one right now.

At all.

Ah well, here's to hoping next year is halfway interesting!

I might have watched 4 or 5 races all season. I just couldn't get into it at all.

Seemed like every time I tried to actually sit through a race broadcast, I regretted how much of a waste of time it was. I'd already dialled way back on how many races I was watching live anyway, but when the so-called highlights packages are just plain tedious then you know something has gone a touch awry with the sport.

It's a shame the results of 1 driver have tainted the whole season. If you remove Vettel this year has been pretty good. We could have had a 4 way title decider if Kimi turned up.

Well....no. We'd still have ended up with all the problems that F1's rulebook has currently, but with the best team-driver combo removed. That's no kind of fix. It's not even band-aid over the cancer.

Still got insane tyre rules, dull circuits, stewards that range from utterly blind to race-killingly strict seemingly at random, car construction rules that stop you developing anything that would actually be of any use in the real world in favour of finding The World's Greatest Diffuser™....
