So do i.  All of these make it so obvious what is missing from the current engines.  The tech is awesome, but the soulful sound is completely absent.

I used to get together with a bunch of my friends and watch the races. Several of us would tape the race to make sure we got every race. Then we get together and make a party of watching the races. Went to Long Beach a couple of years ('79-'80) and had a great time. Villenueve, Lauda, Rosberg, Piquet, Arnoux, Prost were amazing to watch.











Ferrari, Tyrell, McLaren, they all had decent cars. Awesome sounding cars but the Ligier Matra V12 was one of my favorites. I get goose bumps just hearing it.











Tracks were different too. They went to some down right scary places and safety wasn't a major consideration in construction.











A bit of the passing of the guard, as we're starting to see now.

Yup. But hey... as long as we FEEL like we're saving the planet... it's all good, right? We're going to friggin BORE this planet to a coma long before we kill it with emissions. The SOUND of Formula One is what brought me to the sport and made me a passionate fan. But that sound is gone, the "racing" is boring as hell, etc. I feel like I've watched someone dying of cancer here. F1 is almost dead (to me at least). The passion and love is being replaced with cold, sterile apathy... day by day... "race" by race.

Not true!  They pulled one out in 2007, Though that was more due to Lewis and Fernando fighting like little girls on the playground than anything they did.

I'm watching Brazil 2012, v8s sound good. Vettel hit on lap 1, pushed to last, Alonso in point lead, Hulkenberg runs in P1 for a long time, Vettel comes back from last to take the championship, great racing throughout.

Oh and intermittent rain, rain always makes the racing better.

Bernie wants to get paid

Formula 1 recently reversed its ill-received rules on team radio restrictions, a rare win for the fans. (Well, ostensibly, at least: The decision likely had more to do with Mercedes-AMG, currently the sport’s most powerful team, being penalized for violations at the British Grand Prix. But whatever.) Not only did the FIA do away with a ban on strategic chatter, but also freed up other radio messages previously kept private by teams. This, says the FIA, improves the race experience for spectators.

And, as if on cue, hearing that F1 followers might find some enjoyment in the sport, Bernie Ecclestone emerged from under his bridge to straighten us out.

According to German magazine Auto Motor und Sport, Ecclestone plans to “sell” the newly available radio communications. That likely means a tiered paywall, wherein the public has to pay for varying levels of access to talk between drivers and the pit wall. So, for the average fan, this basically negates the release of those new radio messages.

Far be it from me to defend Bernie, but he is just following the Nascar model of charging for full radio coms.

Oh c'mon, don't tell me you wouldn't love to see Pascal in Nico's seat beating the hell out of Lewis.... not that it would happen, but who knows.





I'm holding out for Fernando to get a Merc drive... 2007 all over again. This alone would make F1 great again!

I always point to Spa 2004 when people say that Kimi is an average driver.  That Mclaren wasn't much more than a midfield car, and he carved EVERYONE up that day, including Schumacher in one of the best Ferraris to ever take to the track.

His pass of Schumacher at Eau Rouge a few seasons ago (2013?) was epic.

I remember that one, he took a page out of Mark Webber's book, and did the same thing in a worse car.
