When anything like this actually does happen nowadays it's usually because it's raining or if not, the exceptional circumstances are raved about for months.
It used to happen every lap way back when drivers made the difference. Now you could put a puppet in there and with the technology around now you could have full control from the pits.
For supposedly the pinnacle of motorsport it actually provides a poor show and is too full of over-paid Prima Donna's.
The way it has gone must have totally convinced a lot of fans that the FIA had "lost the plot" when it started running grooved tyres and not full racing slicks.
For a study in racing as an example, try watching this coming round of World Superbikes which is being held at Monza this weekend.
Guys are passing each other three or four times a lap on a circuit like this.
Moto-GP, V8Supercars, BTCC, WTCC, DTM, all examples of good circuit racing that provide more thrills per minute to the average spectator than F1 could dream of. |
I agree totally I love to watch WSBK and Moto Gp your right it's much more fun watching them swap places and sometimes trade paint. It add to the excitement.
