do you think formula one is fixed? reason 1 how can a car break down then mysteriously fix itself, 2, owner of formula said who he would like to win

3 why didn't Mc'claren fill Hamiltons car so he could finish race without stopping again? your opinions please

its well fixed its the most currupt sport around there needs to be a lot of rule changes to even start to sort it out

crazypom · 22-10-07, 09:38 PM

yes i agree what would you suggest?

steve07951 · 22-10-07, 09:47 PM

to start no being owned by one person would help

crazypom · 22-10-07, 09:50 PM

what about the breakaway that was going to happen i think it would give them competition, but would it change anything?

The Governing body has been pro-Ferrari for years, they can't do anything wrong - even when they cheat. The classic was the illegal barge boards in Malaysia a few years ago when they got no penalty because they were "close enough".

You should watch the A1GP

Well, I am glad that season is over and at least we had a good driver as the winner. Its just a shame that Massa had move over for the sake of the championship.

Hopefully next season will progress without all the nastiness and legal aggro that we have experienced this year. I dont think that can happen though with the present bunch running the FIA.

Although I understand some of the conspiricy theroys I doubt they are 100% true.... the F1 would have gained more IMHO if a rokkie had won the championship after so many boring years.
It's the first time since Damon Hill was driving that I have actually cared about the sport.
I have to giggle that Lewis has become such a 'black role model' coz the last time I looked he was mixed race and as thus as much white than black....good old do gooders and spin doctors at work yet again!

Michael S's retirement has been good for the sport this season, but theres been too much political guff this year.

If you want to watch decent open wheel racing with plenty of passing then give the American Champ Cars a whirl. Exciting stuff that is shown on Eurosport 2 in Europe - although they are coming up to their final race this season.
