lol wow that is terrible! so much cringe in that pic. how much do you think each of them hate seeing that ad?
But from everything Ive learned from posters like this, by the end of the season they will either become best friends, or have sex.

So i was just reading this article:
First Russian GP gets one of the lowest-ever ratings - F1 Fanatic
Anyone know how they calculate their ratings? (or what these ones are based off of?)
It is interested to see that from the start of the season till now it has fallen by 50%.
There is a different system for almost every country

Well Bernie owns and manipulates the f1 broadcasting out of England. So he probably knows who is getting what (broadcasters)
And those broadcasters are not transmitting over airwaves, but through track able subscription services (cable, satellite etc) and streaming places on the Internet know how many users are watching...
They probably all *****es about the licensing fees and how little people tuned in...
Because they have to use these numbers to set pricing on add spaces on TV (& spots on te side o the webpage) for upcoming races...

F1 Fanatic readers have given their verdict on 127 races since F1 Fanatic began Rate the Race in 2008.

HAHA it was right in the first sentence.
I didn't realize that was the rating they were referring to.
Thought that they just has a separate survey based off of users.
Thought the numbers in the graph were TV ratings.
Side note: I thought the track seemed good too. More overtaking points that excepted. The scenery was nice too with all the new Olympic buildings.
On the tv broadcasts they made it seem as if all they were getting/hearing was positives about the new track.
Guess that was not the case.

Very First sentence...
It's interesting to see such negative criticism. I think the race went on well considering the it was the first race at that venue. I was surprised to see people hating on the track, yet enjoying the scenery. I thought the track was excellent and the scenery was terrible. I also really like Valencia and Yas Marina so maybe I just have ****ty taste.

Ha are you kidding me!? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're being sarcastic, but this season has had more excitement and better racing than the last 3 seasons combined! Last season was almost like watching a parade every race, sorry that Your Guy isnt winning this year, but boring? C'mon

I'm dead serious. I don't think it's due to Vettel. I just... don't care of the cars, at all. They have so little downforce through turns, it's ALMOST like I'm watching champcar.
If it wasn't for the Mercedes Drivers being so close, I'd pretty much not even watch this year. These cars are just so slow. And things like DRS and ERS really isn't making up for power and downforce that's missing. Just isn't, and I'm not alone in that camp.

I agree this season has been super fun to watch.
Ton of good racing both for 1 & 2 and the best of the rest fight has been exciting to watch too. With williams and ferrari and red bull and a bit of force india it has been great!
Plus with the wins for Ricciardo were pretty cool to watch as well.
