Answer 4

No I don't , its a boring procession. Whoever is on the first two rows invariably end up on the podium.

The changes to the rules have not made it any better in my view.

They have tried to encourage more overtaking by bringing in DRS but I don't think it works .

They've changed the tyre regulations so that the cars have to use another set that are harder or softer than the ones they were using , the tyre manufacturers are required to supply tyres that are designed to wear out quickly -- where's the sense in that ?

And I think the rules concerning the altering of the rear wing configuration are just plain dangerous !

Once upon a time they used to say that racing cars helped to improve the cars that you or I use on the road !

I have been an avid follower of motor sport for over sixty years but this rubbish that they call F1 is for me just not exciting any more.
