thoughts about formula1? Is it really as fun sports as the popularity would indicate? Is it even sports? Should all motorsports be stopped to save resources? if not, should all drivers have the same cars to really see the differences of drivers?
If you watch F1 in any form, sportnews or even live:
Anyone would agree ferrari and mclaren are the strongest teams and useless to speculate which one will be stronger this year, but which team would you prefer to see 1st?
for finns, kovis or räkä?
F1: ferrari or mclaren

great post Kobal! you make me proud of my country :D
first of all: yes, I think F1 is still a sport. it was much more of it in the very beginning, but as always when a sport is becomming more and more popular money comes into play and begins to be the major factor. you can like it or not, but that's how the world works and we won't change it. you can always play chess or compete in\follow some less effective things like you do visiting this forum right now and playing this game.
there are some racing series with equal bolides but they probably won't ever be as popular as F1 for some simple reasons: when no car produceres are involved, it is less attractive both for people who watch as they can't associate teams with a brand, and world's best drivers aren;t going to compete as they earn more money in F1. no competition among constructors means no evolution which also is bad. and so on and so forth.
experts agree that F1 is becoming less and less transparent for regular people as the rules are very complicated and the decisions of stewards are sometimes argueable and unclear. more or less this is how it has to be as no restriction would be too dangerous. of course the aerodynamic grip force should be restricted so that more overtaking would be brought back, which we should hope to happen in the future. on the other hand current situation requires some extra skills from the drivers
than again I am into motorization since the late ninties and F1 has like always been the fastest motorsport also I was, am and will be kind of forced to read about it and it exites my imagination- nothing goes round the track faster than F1 cars do. I had periods when I was less intreasted, for example the period of MS's domination made it less exciting than ever...
as far as the question "Mc or Ferrari" is concerned since Schumi is gone, Ferrari's got Räikkönen and after the dirty playing of the Brits last year there can be only one answer.
now I want to briefly describe the situation in Poland, can be quite entertaining read, at least for me it is kind of comical. it reaminds me about Małysz, Poles are just hungry for any sport success as the political and social situation of the country isn't too good and all of a sudden everyone becomes a fan of the sport and wants to be considered an expert, which they have no doubt they are. as if watching tv was enought to have some deeper clue
of course I am happy to see Kubica in F1, watch his career quite closely (since he was competing in karting actually) and wish him the best, but I don't go into hysteria like most of young males in our country recently do. there are some who, unlike the majority, got hooked on this sport lately but still have some knowledge, read etc, not just watch the races without understanding much of what is going on. it can be FUCKING annoying. example? you are watchin a race and someone who isn't that much into F1 but knows Kubica is competing asks: "what is his position?" and you gotta explain "second, but the rest of the forefront have pitted twice already and he will have to do it in on one of the following laps so he probably he will be 5th after it" and the one who asked is like "wtf o_O". it's much simplier in football where you just got the result and can reply "were'e leading 3:0". second example: you're friends are tlaking about F1 and they are all like "fuck those gay Germans, they made Kubica not finish so that Heidfeld would have better position" and even though you're like "wtf fucking morons" you don't feel like explaining the obvious thing to those assholes: why would they even hire him and pay him? what's their business in making him not finish? in my opinion at most they can favour Heidfeld in tactics, that's all
thank you for your patience and time if you have read this through :*

hah wielo, anyone interested in f1 nat understanding the pitstops should seriously look into it more.
as for todays race, it was fucked up, luck with safetycars played big role. they have always done that, BUT now after first race it's easy to draw conclusion : what if every race will have so many safetycars. fucked up I tell ya, but lets wait and see

When there was an accicent or sach and in some point of the road there is some scrap metal (?) from broken cars, there comes the safety car. It s driving ahead of the 1st placed, is relativly slow and when it s on the road, noone is allowed to overhaul.
When the Road is clean, the safety car vanishes in midair (
) and all cars are not allowed to accelerate until the first accelerates.

Bahrain (3.):
In this race ferrari pwns all teams, but BMW is stronger than mclearen, In fact kovalinen is really got owned by BMW drivers Kubica and heidfield, he was like 22 seconds behind before finish. (Hamilton got a totaly fucked start and crached Alonso in first round and got 14/13 position(Wtf?))
The question is, will BMW keep on with this exellent driving and even win some races?
Hurray for Kubica!

Re: F1: ferrari or mclaren
yeah Smaxa, was too bad Webber crashed in the qualify, he would get better than 10th position imo.
And, excellent stats of BMW!
