If F1 just did the simple trick of adding gravel and grass run offs, then I reckon the racing wouldn't be half bad. Drivers would actually get punished for making mistakes and we wouldn't have this track limits nonsense. The whole nonsense that Martin Brundell keeps crapping on about how we would loose cars out of the race and hence action is just that, nonsense. It wasn't an issue back in the day and actually if someone binned it and stuck it in the gravel then that is ACTION personified.

This short little clip is one of the reasons why I loved F1 in the first place. A crash, a spectacular engine blow up and those glorious V10s....

Do not think we're done with you after today's race, F1. Don't you dare think that a one-night stand will have us back, no matter how sexy it was. You're still on thin ice.

Tell that to Sky F1. They were wanking themselves silly over how good F1 is and saying things like all those who complained last week, wHy dOn'T yOu CoNtAcT uS nOw

Imagine going to a restaurant and being served a steak full of maggots, then being told you can't complain when you eventually get served a good one. That's Sky F1

“I think all the ones that used the polemic and the hardest words in their rhetoric should remember [this race] the next time they start to complain,” said Wolff when asked by Motorsport.com.

“We shouldn’t be doing a Ratner and talking our sport down when we have a next race where the sport is more than alive, but is spectacular, with a full crowd, with controversy on track, and some fantastic racing."

Tell that to the Wolf:

Because ONE decent race makes a trend, right?

Man that guy is a piece of work to put it lightly.

4 worthy races in a row now

5 out of 6 if you include Canada and ignore France

There are signs the balance of power might finally be shifting, someone might actually threaten Mercedes at the top, and someone might actually threaten the big 3 from the lower teams. But F1 is broken because that took 6 years to happen, and it still might not happen at all.

Basically, we went from one of the most unfortunate streaks ever (Montreal and Paul Ricard) to one of the best streaks ever (Red Bull Ring, Silverstone, Hockenheim). Toto might have a point after all.
