Oh how I miss the days of wet qualifying sessions like Austria 1998 or France 1999. Extremely wet but they drove and we got amazing grids

I unliked and unfollowed F1 on Facebook and removed F1 app. If enough of people would do the same, maybe they would get the message.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Nine years ago they had Bridgestone tyres that had been properly tested for the conditions.

Nine years ago they didn't have a newly resurfaced pit straight that wasn't absorbing and draining the water.

Yeah, they ruined everything on nine years. No V10s.

Yeaa, back when the tyre manufacture was able to get useful wet weather feedback.

It's not Pirelli's fault they don't run in the wet.

nine years ago those cars saw more track time than today so they could develop more for those situations

and engines were just engines, not some hybrid shit that sounds like a blender

can't they just race on foot to determine the starting grid? it's less than 6km and they're athletes

they must be allowed to push off and use physical contact

Are you nuts? They'd red flag it after a couple turns, for debris: pink overall shreds all over the racing line.
