Re: German GP

I've noticed a decrease in F1 interest lately. Originally I thought it was just the World Cup, but that's all over now.

I must say I'm guilty too. I don't wake up early to catch the races... lately, I only watch them when they are in my relative time zone.

I don’t know what it is, but F1 doesn’t interest me like it used to. Plus add some silly new rules coming up in the next few years and I think I might drop it completely… or maybe not. Time will tell.

Re: German GP

hey siko, my interest in F1 has decreased by a lot this year, races such as Silverstone and the French GP was really boring and after that promising race in Barhrain it was such a let down. I don't mind if there aren't many overtaking action during the race, but the cars are so far apart on the track you just know nothing is going to happen, at least when they are close together you sorta expect or wait for something to happen.

The constant rule changing doesn't help as well. I still watch the races but i dont' finish watching them, cause by mid race you probably know the winner of the race already.

Re: German GP

The German GP was the first GP I watched entirely this season (didn't have much time because of my studies) I think it was a pretty tense race today, probably not as boring as previous races this season?

Can somebody tell me what happened with Montoya?

Yeah... it was rumoured that he will go to NASCAR for a while, but everyone thought it would be next season. And then just like that, when Monty made the official statement about moving to NASCAR, it was announced that he will leave the team right away.

Personally, I believe he was demoted as the McL bigheads probably got fed up with him, especially after his actions took out Kimi and him in the US GP.
