I miss refueling too. I miss the fuel rig guy missing the hole and I miss cars driving with the fuel hose still attached.

They need to put downforce back on the floor and less on the wings.

I've watched the intro. I'm already sad. Why aren't the current intros like that?



Seriously...

Aero on cars gives way to REAL passing. not some BS DRS crap.

The video after should be Mika's legendary double pass of Schumacher and Zonta. Double Slipstream FTW!!

I have to stop watching these videos... F1 today sucks. Just the engine doesn't bother me, so much as the lack of aero and no refueling, but the engines are so expensive and the reliablity rules are so stupid...

I think going back to 2007/2008 would be best. Maybe sprinkle in the double diffuser and the blow through exhaust to make the cars even faster.

And I'm still not happy about Pirelli. Their tires are terrible. Remember when you could only race in F1 on a 1 set? Yeah, that's some bad *** tires!

Its stupid to not have to change tires once for a whole race.
The old cars are so much more badass than the cars of today.
They should let them do w.e the hell they want.
If they allowed that along with the newer technologies of todays racing the cars would be FLYING around the track.
It would be awesome!

Yeah, that was a stupid, but just think of good a tire must have been to make it through a whole damn race and and at good lap times still.

I agree. I didn't really think about it seriously until I watched some clips today. its crazy to see how poorly these Cars corner now in comparison to several years ago.

Chicago F1 did a random driver drawing for Bahrain. If your driver gets first you get $100. I guess it could have been worse

Go Grosjean!
