Default The end of another F1 season

I think Jensons done really well this season and it'd be great if he could get a win today apart from that its been a bit dull at times.

I use to get up at silly o'clock to watch it before, but couldnt be bothered this year ....

Come on Jenson, make it your first

Well done to Button, but in terms of competition, its the worst season since i've been watching F1. The championship was all but won after 5 races, I just cant stand watching that cheating German win so only watched about 3 or 4 races this year.

Bring back the cars that cought fire and blew up i say lol

They used to run around 4.0bar in qualifing

*Edit* opps sorry that should have been it was limited to 4.0 bar in 87 before that you could run what you wanted. But to last the race you would obviously turn it down a bit.

Your right rich, The new rules didn't say anything about turbos. They are talking about reducing engine sizes from 3.0 to 2.5 wtf.

I hate this sport now, its being killed.
