F1 tedium
« on: 27 October 2013, 10:40:06 »
First time I've watched a F1 race in ages, as I gave with F1 up thinking it was dull.

44 laps into a 60 lap race. Ignoring the first lap, when is there any excitement?

I've seen some quick tyre changes, and a lot of false overtaking, and a broken alternator. But nothing exciting.

Well I quite enjoyed it.

Funny how Webbers car has problems.

Perez drove a good race.

Hats off to Vettel he is a good driver in a great car. I still don't like him very much. It will be interesting to see if Ricardo plays bridesmaid next year or gives him a run for his money.

I agree, a boring race,I even took SWMBO off shopping to relieve the tedium.

Like Albitz said Andrian Newey cheats wins again, and yep to Varche and Tunnie re Webbers problems funny it is always his car, wonder if Ricciardo's car will suffer the same trouble just to keep Helmuts boy golden ::) ::)
