Its still a fantastic circuit and one which they haven't felt the need yet to tarmac over every piece of grass and gravel, so for that it should be held aloft as some kind of treasure.

I do hope F1 leaves there eventually and it can be used for other more interesting series, I know this is unlikely but I would rather see WEC there than Fuji, F1 can go there thanks. It was ruined for F1, so it can go back there!!
Managed about 5 minutes of watching the yawnfest highlights, am still utterly staggered by the amounts of people who feel the need to pay big money to watch this live, the appeal is lost on me, yet I feel somehow drawn to wonder what on earth people see in it!! |

I would not like to see F1 leave Suzuka. It has a great atmosphere and is one of the few challenging circuits left on the calendar

im fine with it being labeled a racing incident but when its two drivers, both of whom are under a lot of scrutiny at the moment, even a slightly biased commentary could have significant knock on effects for one or the other. |

Also, not to be harsh, but yeah it might be a racing incident, but it becomes difficult to put it down to that when he needs a fresh excuse every week. |

Instead of that, is there anything you could tell me about F1 that draws you in, I am genuinely interested as I fail to really understand what there is there to make it so vital that people watch it so religiously.

as a fellow ten-tenths member, you should start a thread to get to those answers you seek. if you are genuine about having an open dialogue about it, then im sure some here would share their reasons with you.

I've been a Manchester United fan for even longer - and I still am, despite them not being at the peak right now. There's more to most sports than just one match, race, or season. Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment! |

Personally, I find F1 is genuinely the pinnacle world wide, it can vary from year to year as teams build new cars each year, have different driver combos etc. The cars get pushed to the absolute limit and drivers have to push themselves to get to the limits of the car - once they're beyond that, they can retire to other forms of racing (such as WEC) which are far less intense, or they can retire completely. |

Strange that you'd venture into a pretty niche part of the internet, a decades-old forum with plenty of F1 fans, just to tell everyone you don't like F1.

poor word choice on my part to use the word 'scrutiny' for both drivers...in regards to Albon, was trying to allude to there being extra attention on whether or not he is a safe pair of hands given Williams' chassis issues....and even that is probably more down to how im perceiving his situation.
