    Formula 1.

    Anyone got any interest in it?
    I lost intrest in it years back after the Senna / Prost days.
    I watch touring cars and looking forward to the Isle of Man TT.
    And Christian Horner (F1) Is shagging ginger spice

    Morning Tricky..I might watch the first two laps of a Grand Prix but that's about it. Races are now won and lost in the pits and the rules have become too complicated for a non specialist like me to understand. I prefer to watch........cycling!

    I agree Frenchie F1 has become to strategic and in my opinion the racing element has gone from F1 over the past 20 years .
    If you have seen Senna the film it sums up how political it used to be .
    That was proper racing, But now as you say it is all in the start and pit stops.

    A few years ago I saw the film about the rivalry between James Hunt and Nikki Lauda. That was another golden era of F1 when driving skills were paramount and not just the cars they were driving.

    They was the days when they used manual gearboxes unlike today's touch button seamless shift gearboxes .F1 is technically still racing as it is called but i prefer proper hands on manual racing without all the celebs who attach themselves to F1 who just want to get themselves on the tv.
