Modern Formula 1 Tracks boring??

If your into your formula one then you will know that the "buzz" of the sport is gone, (well... gone is such a powerfull word, perhaps shrunk) , are these modern tracks a factor?

Its no secret that the new tracks such as india, abu dhabi and korea were rather boring to watch, F1 is trying to spread and there is nothing wrong with that but this is a lenthy proccess, with the addition of the USA GP thats 4 new tracks.

The drivers seem to love the tracks, I have watched millions of videos and played endless hours of video games (as close as i can get) and the tracks are good fun but i cant help but think why not bring back the classics? why not just improve the safety of the tracks and re-introduce them.

It seems like a cheaper option in comparison to an entirely new track. F1 does occasionally need a new track to spice the season up but 4 is too many.
I leave you now with M Shumachers 2006 lap of imola (a track i am too young too know the glory of but abselutely love watching races there. ) i hope you watch it and admire how the track isnt flat, but goes up and down and theres the odd camber, and as the car drives past the grand stands just take a quick look at how packed it is.

Barcelona Day 3 "The money bag is on the move"

Yes i know i slammed money bags (Pastor maldanado) in my last post and i know that he set the fastest lap in the 3rd day of testing but i stand by my previous words, in other news Mark Webber appears to have fallen asleep at the wheel and set an embarrasing lap time that was roughly 2 seconds slower than Maldanado. full unofficial laptimes below

It would appear the Red Bulls this year are not just going to walk away with it. The previous two years the Red Bulls chassis has been so quick that even Mark Webber has managed to top some time sheets and keep up in the top half of the grid,(No offence to Mark but the only thing slower than his driving is the answers he gives to press conferences) and i know its early days but i think the other teams have closed the gap.....

Sporting Personalities (The "dip")

Whilst this blog is made to share my jurney of motorsport, along the way i will share some of my opinion on sport. mainly on motorsport and F1 but these can vary to all sports.


I like to think I watch a lot of sport from football to Formula 1 to Karting, and I have noticed a very broad variety in sports personalities. Many professional athletes are commonly judged on how they react to certain scenarios.

Formula 1 shows my point here as drivers go on to win their first championship, you often see drivers slipping under the radar mid-season, for example Jenson Button in 2009 made a records matching start to the season winning six of seven raced, a record only achieve before by Michael Schumacher and someone else (dunno who).

However after that, Jenson only managed to average 6th throughout the rest of the season, (though double diffusers may have had something to do with it) Jenson claimed he wasn’t happy with how unpredictable the cars handling had become. But commentators and analyst seemed to think Jenson wasn’t coping with the stress of leading the championship too well. Though he did comeback with an amazing storm through the grid at Brazil to take the championship, it’s this mid-season dip in performance I wish to talk about.....
