Opinion: Formula 1 today is not at all boring!

And no, I’m not on the payroll at uncle Bernie.
From the moment the turbocharged engine of its era, it was done with the big scissors fans that the Sunday, around 14:00 on the edge of their seats were. The criticism since then has been (or was already?) not of the air. The Races are boring, the technique is not appealing, the sound is jerk, the outcome is predictable, the sport is too easy to become etcetera etcetera.
Now it is not up to me to say that you are Formula 1 all fun. Define that please yourself. Where it me more is that I even aloud wonder if it is really so sad is with the F1. Also I have repeatedly written that the class is boring, but when I really take for myself was to think of something that I came to very different conclusions.
Predictable races
As regards the predictability of races: there is already a very long time there. Each season, there are two, at most three teams which are the service part and the marbles distribute. The crumbs remain for the rest. Coincidence that the top teams often fairly constant, and they will also several years behind the other to go for the victory. That was in the time of Schumacher, but also in the Senna/Prost era. However, the argument can be that the variety of winning teams in the early days of the F1 is a lot higher lag, but when I looked in each case, there is no races. That’s not really a frame of reference.
McLaren is currently a striking outlier in a negative sense, like for example Red Bull. Both teams can there not very much to do, that’s mainly the source of power that wrecks the day. About motors said, it makes me personally not a flute or a compact turbocharged engine with elektromeuk or a 3.0 V10 in the back. Of course the one source of power more to the imagination than the other, but viewers will notice there is quite little of?
Lack of sound
That is a nice bridge to the next point of criticism: the sound. Yes the sound of the F1 cars of today is not tolerable and do yearn to go back to the time of the atmospheric blocks that 20.000 RPM turned. On the other hand: what brand you if you decide to work for the tube? We were 4/5/6 years ago, a collective one, and for two hours, with gooseflesh on the couch? I do not, in any case, although I can well imagine that the experience for the spectators along the track for a large part disappeared.
Boring races
To the races, that would be boring. I follow the F1 for a while, albeit with varying degrees of interest, but the most exciting and most thrilling race in the times was to me the Grand Prix of Hungary earlier this year. Apart from the success of our Max was that race from start to finish full of action. Of course, the is but one race, and it was a gem. More examples? Singapore, Belgium, Austria and so on.
Too easy
Of course, there were also a few dragons of parades between this year, but somewhere it seems that inherent in the sport. The argument that only Max Verstappen races attractive, it can easily be countered with ‘so what’. The lad shows great things to see and brings the races to taste, whether you’re a fan or not. And that he is on 17/18-the age of the things that he does, does not mean that every 17-year-old that can and the sport so to is easier. The driving around in a F1 car, in and of itself is probably easier than 40 years ago and that was the case, but the technical knowledge that a driver need to have that freakin’ send to can operate it has compensates for that somewhat.
New circuits are jerk
A tip that I personally do have problems with me, is the shift to absolute soulless circuits. Previously, we presented already a list of former F1 tracks that are back should return on the calendar so that I do not still agree, but why race in Sochi as the also at Brands Hatch? Because there is more money, obviously, but we as a viewer are not really benefited.
Bring on the criticism
Finally: I have only my own opinion in an article trying to water cooling, please feel free to completely agree or not. The message reads, in any case, I think it’s bad with statements like ” the Formula 1 is sick’ and similar cries.
