Boring street courses where cars bounce like basketballs on uneven pavement and where cars have nowhere to go but to crash into the walls? Amateurish drivers who constantly crash into each other and make Maldonado look like a saint? The frequent yellows that turn everyone's strategy into a lottery by the end of race? After so many yellows, at the end of day I often have a hard time seeing whether the front runners are there because they were fast, or maybe they just got lucky with the yellows coming at the right time. Forget the ugly cars. I could live with them. There is just no good flow to many of IndyCars races. This was the case before 2012 as well. Solution? Give us more road courses in the schedule. Also, do something about full course cautions. Learn something from F1's local yellows.

Could not have said it better myself.
