Well not much to say other that a good performance by Heidfeld and Kubica on BMWs last F1 race. Solid 10th for Buemi on his 21st birthday but disappointing session for Sutil, Alonso and Raikkonen.

It's just like Valencia with loads of fancy lights. Looks like they’ve focused on the spectators then the media and then the circuit itself.

I'm sure Tifosi 92 would love it if it was in North America and I'm sure you'd love it if it was in Britain, Ice.

 

Seriously, cut these guys some slack. You clearly haven't seen the quali weights, but the Red Bulls are quite a bit heavier than Hamilton with Heidfeld also looking strong, mixed in with the likes of the Brawns of course. It'll be interesting to see Kimi and Fernando come through the field. Sure, I don't think we'll see as much action as we did in Interlagos, but a boring race? Most certainly NOT!. F1 is NEVER boring in my opinion and beats any other sport hands down.

 

If you dislike the track that much, don't watch, simple as. But I don't think that'd prove you to be a true F1 fan if that was the case.

 

Sorry, I had to let that out. I have a problem with anybody who goes "Eurgh, this race is going to be soooooo boring". AS F1 has proved time and time again, it certainly isn't, it is very, very unpredictable. As the great Murray Walker once said "Anything can happen in Formula One and it usually does".

I don't have a problem with the track at all. It's probably my favorite track on the calendar to date, quite honestly. What I don't want to see is for such a beautiful backdrop go to waste with Hamilton walking over the rest of the field, Vettel and Webber behind, and zero position changes the whole race. Sort of like Japan, actually. I honestly don't think anyone's going to catch Hamilton tomorrow. If he was .3 seconds faster in Q2 alone, no one's going to be able to come close.

 

F1 today just isn't what it used to be, in my opinion. If I compare the feeling I get watching it now to the feeling I got watching it through '04-early '07, it's nothing like what I remember it being. My enthusiasm for it has just began to drop off, really. F1 just hasn't been the same lately for me.

Well, last time I checked, it was a free country and we could do and think whatever we want.

 

And no, I and 92 would still dislike the race outcome even if it was in America. Same way 92 thought the 07' Indianapolis GP we went to was somewhat boring. And we usally only judge things after they are all said and done.

 

I would also like to add we aren't like the stereotypical Americans where it's like: "Oh if it's American it's the best", we could care less about anything in American motorsport, and American involvement in F1 becasue they just seem to do things differently unlike other countries (Italy for example). We could care less about USF1, Scott Speed, Kyle Busch, Ford Mustangs, Chevy Camaros, Dodge Chargers, and Etc. Treat us like we're Brits or Italians living in America, how bout that? :)

My enthusiasm for it has just began to drop off, really. F1 just hasn't been the same lately for me.

 

I don't care if anybody really "walks" it. This is F1 and the best should rise to the top. Sure I have favourites that I like to see do well, like Ferrari (I've been a Ferrari fan all my life) yet I still watch F1 when they are doing badly. Why? Because firstly I love F1. Then I love Ferrari. That's the way it has been for me and will always be. Heck, i'd still watch even if Ferrari were 3 seconds a lap off the pace and stone-dead last. I've followed F1 since a very early age, so to me, it does not matter. As long as I have seen a good race and the best guy on the day won.

 

As I keep saying (does anybody listen to me here anymore?) The Red Bulls are HEAVIER than Hamilton. There is a chance for a mix-up and I think we'll see this spice added into the race. We could see some action in the tunnel if something goes wrong, and as I say, it's going to be interesting, a lot of drives for 2010 up for grabs. Rosberg's final race for Williams, Kubica and Heidfeld's last drive for BMW, Kimi's last drive for Ferrari, Alonso's last drive for Renault and probably last drives for Trulli at Toyota and Heikki at McLaren.

 

If you don't like F1, don't watch it. There's 600,000,000 fans of F1 worldwide, it is the most popular sport, second only to football, so I hardly doubt one person suddenly not watching would make much of a differance! I felt like that in '07, the first season without Schumi, but I soon (not forgot him, never that) realised that, well, he's retired. There's not much I can do to bring him back and as I say, I was an F1 fan long before I was a Ferrari fan, so the sport goes on.

Indeed. I never ordered you to do anything. I just voiced my opinion. It seems on internet forums of late that seems to be coming an increasinly futile thing to do so.

 

To be honest, I said that because I know of a lot of guys who are saying "Urgh, what are we doing in Abu Dhabi? F1 should remain in Europe and Europe alone!" I mean, I sometimes share those views. When you saw Turkey this year, as quiet as a grave-yard. More people at Silverstone went to FRIDAY PRACTICE than the number of people who went to Turkey for the whole weekend. That speaks volumes when traditional places are getting booted off the calendar just because they don't have the money anymore for places that look great but have zero interest in F1.

 

Back to the Abu Dhabi issue though and I think it's just some people are a bit.......contradictary. I'm sure that if that track was in Europe people would be showering it in plaudits and claiming it was the best track they've ever seen. I think there's a bit of spitefulness from some F1 fans towards the Middle Eastern market. Abu Dhabi is a SELL OUT. the only other track that was like that this season was indeed the British GP. I agree in the case that I'm not sure as to whether it's as great a track as Interlagos for racing value, but I think it looks great and we need to cut those guys some slack and realise what they have acchieved.

 

I never said you were, mate, I never said you were. Indeed, I'm British but I don't support either of the British drivers. I like to see them do well, because, well, I'm British and it further backs up the point that the only sport Britons are good at is indeed Formula One. Doing things differently isn't always bad you know! And sorry, I can't do that. You're Americans living in America! I expect you don't have a drop of British blood in your body, but correct me if I'm wrong there. I talk to quite a few Americans who are indeed F1 fans, one of whom is a very good friend of mine and has been for about 3 years. I'll treat you in the same way I treat them. In a mature and friendly manner. If that's okay of course?

In a mature and friendly manner. If that's okay of course?

 

I would like to say four things:

 

1. We aren't planning to start a worldwide movement that Arab tracks are garbage, or start making people dislike F1, because races are boring.

 

2. Just because we say a couple of races this year were boring, does NOT mean we're going to throw arms in the air and drop all interest in Formula 1. And that dos NOT give you the right to explode on us and tell us that we're just 2 fans and, you would, and the rest of the Formula audience, would care less if we stopped watching it. Don't treat us as if we watch it because we don't have anything else to watch on TV.

 

I'm sure that I could be wrong on some points of this, but this is the way I took it, so it's up to you to change your your style in posting.

 

3. I am all for having more tracks in the middle east. They're cleaner, modern, and all around cool looking. I wouldn't mind if all the tracks we're there except a few: Belgum, Monza, China, Australia, and Hungary, and Silverstone.

 

4. I am 60% Italian. And another 30% of various European countries. Treat me as if I was one of you.

 

(BONUS) 5. We're worse than Trulli and Sutil. :P

 

And YES, I am willing to have civilized convrosation. Just please don't explode on small opinions we have on some aspects of F1. Ok? You just need to calm down sometimes, not take the little things too seriously, and take a deep breath before making posts.

 

Trust me, it helps. :P

I'm sure that I could be wrong on some points of this, but this is the way I took it, so it's up to you to change your your style in posting.

 

3. I am all for having more tracks in the middle east. They're cleaner, modern, and all around cool looking. I wouldn't mind if all the tracks we're there except a few: Belgum, Monza, China, Australia, and Hungary, and Silverstone.

 

4. I am 60% Italian. And another 30% of various European countries. Treat me as if I was one of you.

 

(BONUS) 5. We're worse than Trulli and Sutil. :P

 

And YES, I am willing to have civilized convrosation. Just please don't explode on small opinions we have on some aspects of F1. Ok? You just need to calm down sometimes, not take the little things too seriously, and take a deep breath before making posts.

 

Trust me, it helps. :P

 

1. No, I was just airing some views as ever because Abu Dhabi have taken a lot of ###### from people and I don't think it's right really. I think after this race they justified their position on the calendar and as I said, F1 is NEVER boring to me. Football, now THAT'S boring.

2. Did I ever "explode" on you? I don't think I did. I really don't understand the purpose of internet forums of late, a lot of people seem to take a very defensive attitude when you just air some views or opinions. I was just offering some advice. If you really think F1 is that boring, don't watch. After all, what if the point of watching something you don't enjoy?

3. I think a few Middle Eastern tracks would suit F1. As great as the tracks are, I don't think that they have the sparkle of places like Monza, Spa, Monaco or Silverstone. And that's to be expected really as they are new developments in this century and won't have the heritage. I just think it's wrong for them to take over.

4. Oh please. Can you drop that attitude please? Us Europeans are the same as you Americans, you know? Sure there are some differances in the culture for the example, but at the end of the day, we are all human. I find that view a bit patronising to be honest, pretending to be something you are not. I know us Europeans are awesome, but sorry, you're not European. And I'm not American.

5. Haha, true. But unlike Trulli, I'm willing to drop this. I'm just airing my thoughts and views and as I've said, I'm not really understanding the point of forums of late with some people acting very defensive.

 

Good. So too am I. I think you need to really re-read my posts. I am not "exploding" and I never have done when I've been posting. If you are like that and at a computer it can only lead to bad things. I am talking in a cool, mature manner and to be honest, I don't really understand where you are coming from saying I am "exploding". I think you need to take your own advice before offering other people that sort of advice. It doesn't tend to go down well in a digital format when you are not talking face to face.
