Whatever you think of F1, it's nowhere near as boring and tedious as people with no interest in the sport telling everyone else how uninteresting it is.
I don't like Coronation Street, but I'll be damned if I'll waste my time moaning about it.
If you don't like it, ignore it FFS.

Ignore dbp, it's his modus operandi on the board to just go around generally sniping at people trying to get a rise. He's a ****!

But I do like it, I just wish they'd do something and get rid of the boredom bit.

I equally don't understand why some people go out of their way to moan about sports they've absolutely no interest in - that's just sad really.

Refuelling - good.

Yes, may it be the Apple watch, F1 race or some new study.

To be fair, we need people with opposed views, in order to make us see the other side. I do appreciate that. But our resident antagonist Duncan doesn't rest with his constant snipes. It is to get a rise, for sure. Try not to give a rise. I'm not sure if he likes anything in life. LOL bless him, he's harmless, really; apart from some times when you could just send your cat in his garden to further damage his plants and do their business all over.

Agreed absolutely.
There is plainly room for constructive criticism and discussion on how things might be improved if only the mighty Bernie Eck would listen.
You'd have to be a complete half wit to think the current F1 format is the best it will ever be. But if all folk are going to do is bleat about then it just becomes a low level trolling exercise in my view.
Next thing you know we'll have guys on a Subaru forum saying BMWs are better
Know what I mean?

Oh, absolutely! It's a blatant level trolling, if done over and over, and with not much reasoning to support the opposed view but just the bias alone. There are quite a few legitimate trolls knocking about here whose motto is simply to wind people up.

Yes, but I can justify that sort of thing without calling it trolling, as long as BMW owner substantiates such claims for his/her motor's superiority in a sociable manner. Subaru owners should be open enough to admit to the shortcomings of their Subaru, in a sociable manner. That doesn't usually happen, and people start effing and blinding at one another, for they take anyone undermining the choice of their car very personal.

"increased noise - More aggressive looks" That's just decoration and has bugger all to do with making the actual racing more interesting.

Would seem to be the opposite from what I have watched, one car can't even get too close to the car in front incase he damages his car

Yes, but that still doesn't answer the question as to why you felt you needed to ask a question that you could have got the answer to in five seconds.... unless of course you were trolling again or you are in fact a complete dumba55... one can only speculate as to which it might be

There is a subtle difference that you have missed although I guess there is no surprise there. Actually it;s not that subtle, but again no surprise.

My comments about football relate to the behaviour of its fans and some of its participants that are reported with relentless monotony via the news based media and not to the mechanics of the game itself. If I didn't have to hear about these incidents surrounding the sport then I would not comment, but seeing as the behaviour does, I guess, warrant reportage then I am faced with the crap every time it happens and I watch or read the news!

The comments on this thread relate directly to how boring the actual sport is which means people have a) gone out of their way to watch it to find this out and b) then felt the need to comment on it... both of which they seem to have done repeatedly!

Alternatively perhaps you knew that and like the other dolts in this thread are just trolling for a reaction!

C'mon , Chips a fully paid up motorsport aficionado ( why else would you fork out 2k for a weekends ogling machinery ) . Even he is complaining about the lack of spectacle and sportsmanship and competition in F1
