You are flatly wrong.

F1 is a highlights only show for me nowadays.

I lost count at how many lead changes there was this race. Some of the best wheel to wheel racing all year, a car exploding, a car going backwards into its pit box and STILL you are unhappy.

I used to love the sport, really I did and I don't mean to be in this thread running it down. It just feels like such a mess nowadays and the recent rule change smacks of desperation to stop the Red Bulls. Just find it all a bit desperate.

Have they said *why* the Renault sidepod blew out yet?
Only thing I can think of is that they have their exhaust emerge from the front of the sidepod and that perhaps the sudden cooling of that cause of the foam from the marshalls caused a sudden contraction and shatter. Be sure the FIA will want to know what happened there, cause if it blew out then it could well have blown IN as well, and they're really not happy with anything that can cause penetration of the main survival cel.

They think the exhaust was slowly destroying itself and the extended stop in the pits forced the temperature through the roof and bing-badda-boom. He mentioned the engine air bottle as the thing that blew.Last edited by Bort; 31-07-2011, 17:58.

I really don't get your patronizing attitude ether . People can find faults with F1 (even they support and follow the sport) and people can find faults with BBC and ask what on earth does it do with the money

I use the beeb for programmes, music and radio, and their website for news, sport and iplayer. I love the niche, interesting documentaries on bbc4, the leftfield status of some of its radio stations, and it's my go-to site for comprehensive sports news. If the beeb went 'free market', then it would be a catastrophe for my tastes. There'd be even more crap on the beeb than now. It fulfills a significant public service for me, and its output, though largely risable, is at least accountable to the public interest. I'm aware that the organisation is often **** and full of overpaid tossers. But for the minority output alone, it's of immense value. Market forces dumb thngs down to maximise viewing figures and revenue. Programmes of interest to a niche section of the populace won't get a look in. I classify it alongside museums and art galleries as things funded by public money that I don't necessarily need or use, but recognise as vital to national cultural heritage. A huge amount of the money we send to the Government for social output isn't used by us, but that doesn't mean it should suffer under market forces.
When the beeb goes free market and it's showing even more repeats than now, the quality of the output hits rock bottom, and it starts to depend on foreign imports like Sky, then we'll realise how important it is. Foreign tv is f-ing awful, in Canada it was all adverts and imports, likewise in Germany when I visited.Last edited by prinnysquad; 31-07-2011, 21:56.
