• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Sone F-1 food for thought

aint lap length set to keep a full race within 2ish hrs though?

o well i'm not really fussed, so long as they just dont make all the tracks big ovel rings with over 100 laps :sleep:
 
They just vary the number of laps to achieve that - but yes, the newer tracks are utterly identikit. They also make overtaking next to impossible. Give me the "boring" old tracks over the new "how many turns can we fit in this space?" tracks any day.

...except maybe Mondello Park, which is all turns and I have a soft spot for it. No idea why.
 
Aside from Monaco (obviously) there has been more overtaking this season than in many a long time. Possibly down to the Kers (sp?) system of course.
 
Cazz,
You're right there are similarities...

FYI...Malaysia, Shangai, Bahrain, & Turkey were all designed by Herman Tilke....
 
And the only decent Herman circuit is the Turkish one!!
More a result of the topography than the designer I hasten to add.

At least the Shanghai abomination will be gone soon, all of 'New Shanghai' is sinking at an alarming rate (but not fast enough for me!!) as a consequence of building on poorly 'reclaimed' land .......................:jump:
