Most boring season ever? Nonsense

If you look down the field, if Brawn hadn't made it we'd have perhaps the closest season since 1982 on our hands
Ifs and buts..........the fact is that Brawn are there.

These places are paying a lot more money for their races with far better facilities, so the alternative is no races at all
Are you suggesting that short term profiteering at the expense of the sports fan base is better than looking after the fan base? I think you're proving my point.

We have the same number of cars as we did at the end of 1996
Before Bernie & Max we had nearly 40 cars for many races.

Blame the manufacturers. They've driven the costs up
No so, the manufacturers are being forced out in favour of the old boy network. The core of F1 used to be sports car manufacturers from all over Europe - UK, Italy, Germany, France etc. Ferrari, Lotus, Renault, Mercedes, AUDI (autounion), Alfa Romeo, etc. etc.

The alternative is crippled or dead drivers
Dont agree - alternative is to make the cars safer, not neutering the circuits.

Quote:
That never happened. The championship's still decided by points
Not in 2010.

Quote:
Neither do the manufacturers. They just want to make money. We're just pawns to them
Manufacturers cant make money unless F1 is competitive and attractive to the fans.
