It's not because I want to hate it, I just disagree with lots of decision and over hyping.

Discuss F1 here! Where do you stand?

I love it but think the rule changes and shocking tyres are killing it off.

Engines next year sound awful, fuel restrictions plus everything else nah it's not going to be that exciting but I think there will be loads of electronics and engine failures next year.

The whole point of there being restrictions on how and where you can design and develop a car challenges the teams, the designers, technicians, engineers to create a car which is just within the fringes of the rules. When they do and do it well where other teams don't then all of a sudden there is a move to outlaw whatever has been implemented - double diffusers, blown diffusers, coanda exhaust effects, active ride height, f-ducts and whatever else along the way.

Ok one team dominating isn't what you want to watch but be honest, Red Bull are doing a better job than the rest with the team they've got in place it is as simple as that, I'd love to see Mercedes wipe the floor with them (no bias, honest) but they're simply not good enough, so there will probably be more races for the rest of the season where it is a Red Bull up front from lights to flag now they've got the tyres they want.

Tyres, don't get me started, was never keen on Pirelli in the first place but they are doing what they were told to do but wouldn't surprise me if they leave after the end of the season.

Anyway, WEC - more relevant road technology plus the cars are immense, tickets cheaper, only drawback is how long the races are but that just allows more drinking time whilst watching the race!
