Such a boring sport

Likewise - i'm afraid. Rather stick pins in my eyes. However - each to their own & all that....

you'd rather stick pins in your eyes than...what?
watch F1 on tv?
attend a race?
be a F1 driver?

curious to know what you would rate beneath sticking pins in your eyes...

All of the above! (wouldn't say no to the salary or perks naturally...) But otherwise the whole F1 thing leaves me un-moved.

Have been to race week-ends in Montreal, Barcelona and Budapest, and they're hard to beat as an overall experience.

Not a patch on an Ulster away weekend in South of France or Italy

That includes darts then!

I think the new cars look fantastic. Can't wait for the new season to start now!!

Among the new regulations for this year are the return to slick tyres again. A kinetic energy recovery system which will store the heat that is created in the brakes to give the driver a power boost to use when he wants(although this seems to be unreliable in testing at present and most teams will probably not start the season with it). Revised aero package with a narrower higher rear wing designed to help passing and a completely new front wing. Team budgets are also capped.

Personally I think the cars look more like Formula 3 cars now as they are so small and narrow. Hoping that the season ahead is a classis as many have said on here it has become a tad boring/predictable. Still would love to take any doubters of the sport to Spa and watch the F1 cars go through Eau Rouge at around 180mph!

Spa is the most affordable grand prix to go to. £130 a ticket for a weekend and camping. Gonna make the effort this year for sure.

Would love to go to spa this year jackie but funds aren't too good. Used to go every year to silverstone as we got in free and camped inside the track. Fingers crossed i'll get to a race this year. Unlikely tho. Probably go to donnington next year if they ever get the work finished.

I went to silverstone for the "Lewis" race last year, flippin expensive tickets, but my goodness it was worth it, I loved it, and I wasn't even that bothered by it before then...now I can't get enough!
