He seems more relax nowadays

Was expecting article on Willi Weber.

‘People talk about the mid-2000s or the Nineties and say they were boring,’ he says, rattling out the words at a 0-60 speed that threatens the record books. ‘They say there was no overtaking. But if you look at the grandstands they were full. Look at the TV figures. Why were all those people watching then and not so many now?

 

 

 

‘The other thing we need is Formula One cars to be like nothing else. Which they are not: they have never been closer to GP2 cars and sports cars in terms of performance. 

 

 

 

But what about overtaking? He now has his foot right on the floor. ‘If you want that, watch a go-kart race. It’s like Real Madrid v Manchester United, 13-12. Would that be right? Probably not. You can have a cracking match at one-all. Cracking, mate, cracking.’

 

Make this guy the next FIA president!

Sorry, I should have said Webber

We have also taken the decision to ban the general driver threads. They have evolved beyond their original remit to track items of interest only to that driver and have been used to variously discuss areas outside of motorsport, on track incidents involving that driver, teammate battles and for many other discussions well outside of the topic. Threads can still be started to discuss issues affecting a single driver, but this must be with a specific remit or point of discussion, such as the possibility of them racing in a particular series or team.

 

 

By all means drop me a PM if you want to pick out some point for more focused discussion.  Failing that, I suggest some of what he says could go in the myriads of existing 'F1 sucks now' threads.
