My gf doesn't give a shit, she wants to see racing and rexx.

Why do the two have to be mutually exclusive? Best case scenario is an awesome race at a track that looks good.

She needs to head over to NASCAR. They've got her interests all sorted out, especially the "rexx" part

well the race name is very Nascar-ish, perhaps that could bring more rexx, like those in Mugello

Is this your attempt at an insult or something?

He sure is a Tosa.

Me too. But like already said, these don't have to be mutually exclusive.

like I said last year that a race in Imola is better if you attend the race during your vacation as there's lots of things to do and see at Emilia Romagna, specially if you're into cars and racing

for the rest of us watching on TV is just another race

Imola in April feels oldskool F1 though, when I started watching F1 it was always the first European round, so even if the racing isn't good it makes me feel all warm and nostalgic inside. Let's hope the small white flowers in the grass are growing. I missed those last season in the autumn race

Yeah. I remember coming from school just in time to see FP2, and of course capture clips from it along with a dozen of other members. Damn, where have those 15 years gone?

And yeah, I hope we see those flowers. They looked like snow last time in 2006

I have to agree there! It was always nice to see that spring had already arrive in southern Europe and soon, the weather will be better! I'm excited for this weekend, Mercedes and RB will be close, old school track, just that overtaking thing but we'll see about that on Sunday!

So you wouldn't care if Albert Park became a concrete wonderland like Valencia or they turned Bathurst into Paul Ricard?

I don't care whats possible, I mean, if all you care the the on-track product, you won't mind how all the rest looks? So you wouldn't mind if that happened.

I think the original post meant that when a boring race happens, a nice track and scenery makes up for it a little bit and the experience is more enjoyable than the same race on a bland scenery.

Scotty you're addressing another point, which is whether we should choose venues based on scenery or based on racing quality, and to that the obvious answer is obvious: based on racing quality.

What murks the water a bit in this debate is that given today's F1 cars, the characteristics that make good racing (Tilkedromes in flat wastelands) and the characteristics that make good scenery (flowing, narrow tracks) are often quite exclusive. So we won't have both until the car is fixed. In GT racing, races are often interesting on both types of tracks.

seeing today's cars in great tracks like Imola is like seeing a pretty girl with flies on her face

The White specs are back, in HD I see now that it ain´t really flowers

Does the safety car complete 63 laps or is this just some sort of setup run for TV crews?

I really doubt that the Mercedes AMG GT brakes aren't able to stand 63 laps with those times

They'll eventually fade out and Maylander will beach the car on Tamburello gravel trap

I might prefer the Spa race indeed. A boring race at Spa might already be a 6 our 7/10 because the looks, the history, tradition. But mostly the sensation of speed and a circuit design not created the cure F1 old cancer of lack of overtakes making it a very mickey mouse track.

Like if you but a cat in a room with a brush tied on his tail, then scare him away to move all over the room. The drawing that he put on the floor, is the new Herman Tilke track design. It was great on the first 3 tracks, then it got over-saturated.

Edit: Specially after Turkey, just straights, slow corners and a repeat of that damn fast multi-apex turn. Anyway, the circuits don't have to be turned into a parking lot to produce better racing. IS THE CAR THAT NEED FIXING!!!!!

And yeah, if the race is the best ever I won't mind the venue that much. But, with Spa, Suzuka and Melbourne as competition, the bar starts very very high already.
