It is said to gain a PHD, you need to submit a thesis of no more than 200 000 words, I could right a thesis on 1.2million words on what is wrong, about 20 on what is right in regards F1.. That is the problem, they have found themselves painted into a corner and cannot engineer a solution...
Try this, try that, remember that awful 1 lap shoot out crap thing, that was trialed, abused then quickly abandoned.. That it actually reached the level of use, well speaks to the insanity of the clown college that is FIA/F1, and then We have the system we have now, that really is about "help we are trapped in a system and cannot fix it.."
It was always bad, at times you wonder if all and sundry should be sectioned, just to have a rest from the insane.. Senna and the really bizzare rules and regs.. Micheal Schumacher and his love affair with breaking, not bending, the rules...
2024 and sweargate.. Honestly, in my line of work, if you are not hearing swearing, is the comms working? The Director calls you all sorts of names, swears, and worse, but they are the 1st to buy a round in the pub..
F1 is in chaos, in crisis, and not helped by DTS, stupid movies that make no sense.. F1 is in trouble, you may or may not agree, but the signs are there, if Toto is making comments about cost caps, and missing events, he is from a region where they have no sense of humour, it is 100% all the time serious.. Yet nothing..
If Colapinto says "for what" on hearing 20 seconds for Max, you have to question, is F1 over-regulated.. We see this in football, in rugby, where you are red carded/banned for minor infringements, all in the name of safety..
We lost 10% of the race due to a crash.. Would it have made more sense to red flag, then a re-start on the grid? Or instead of +x seconds, a drive through...
F1 is no question in crisis, they are in crisis in terms of the sport spectacle, no overtakes, try this tech, that tech, ban this, ban that.. only 1 brand of tyre, all 20 cars on the same tyres, from an aero point, so so close they might as well share pdf files for $10 a page..
Something is wrong..very wrong and they are not aware of it..
