    The last race was boring and a complete let down from the hype.

    The track sucks. The current ability to form any sort of pit strategy is minimal at best.
    Once the top 5 our off and running it's like another day at the park.

    Hope down unda is bettah.

    Agreed boring...but also agree that we need to let the season unroll. There were a lot of nervous Nellies out there unwilling to challenge and take it to the edge on tires. Also with the stupid 8 engines for the season rule - I think it is prob team orders to take it easy, especially if leading (you could hear it on the radios as well with respect to keeping the gap, taking care of the car, taking care of the tires).
    So, hopefully in cooler temps, the guys will be willing to see how hard they can go to the edge of tire wear in better times...and perhaps when engines are not an issue (hopefully before the last 8 races) - we should see some aggression (or if Schumacher gets pissed off or passed - maybe the old, controlled recklessness will come back - haha)

    I find some of the new tracks they are adding dont allow any passing. They look nice and are visually appealing but i fall asleep watching it.

    F1 never was, is not nor never will be exciting. It's very boring to watch. I went to several Grand Prix around the world and it's always the same.

    The whole excitement/fun/coolness comes from the whole world around it: the sponsors, the travels, the brands, the events, etc ...

    At least IMO.

    1st race was boring, but, it was the first race. FIA has already stated that if the show does not improve after the first 3, they may impliment a second mandatory pit stop with the teams choice of tire compound.
