I used to look forward more to the qualifying than the race the last few seasons how wrong is that. I have heard people moan about the new re-fuel rules and how boring the qualifying is but I have yet to hear anyone moan about the race (Except maybe Ferrari fans ;-)) So what if qualifying is boring. Qualifying was traditionally always boring its just seemed more exiting in the last few years as the race has got boring. F1 has always been like a game of chess and it takes the whole weekend to pan out. They have extended the chess game to the Friday great, and now added that little extra thing......the fuel rule. Look at the posts on all the message boards after qualifying: "Renault are running on fumes" "DC is filled to the brim and is 1 stopping" I couldn't wait to find out and sprung out of bed! I have read than Berni doesn't think the new qualifying is good, man is he never happy. He has been getting the best races of his life and F1 is in the news more than it has ever been....why...because the new rules are doing what they are meant to do. mixing it up a bit. The cream always rises to the top, the faster cars/better drivers will eventually get out in front. Just takes them that wee bit longer and makes it more interesting for the spectator. If it wasn't for Schumacher's little problems he of course would have been in the top 3 if not winning it he is after all the best driver F1 has seen in a long long time....if not the best driver ever. The racing up and down the field was brilliant. Panis coming flying out of the pits and over-taking Firman on turn 1 on a full tank and cold tyres a feat that his team mate was trying to do all race. Rubens all over the back of Panis, Rubens was flying and Panis was no slouch...brill! I could go on but I have work to do ;-) I think Brazil will be a good test. If the race is as good as the last two then people should stop moaning and start enjoying! Glad I won't have to get up in the middle of the night for a while now....:-) |
