This season feels contrived, the DRS makes me ill to watch even if it does add some passing. KERS is interesting but the limit on how much it can be used again feels contrived. F1 used to be about engineering, now it is starting to look more like spec car.
Latest is the shenanigans by Ecclestone and Mosely to oust Todt and regain control.
I have had enough....cancelled the PVR settings and will just curl up with a good book.....no desire to watch it anymore. I declined a freebie trip to watch the Singabore F1.....I guess my interest in the sport is truly dead....

Guess you look at the past with rose tinted specs..
Contrived? What about the turbo charged equivalency formulae.....the total fuel quantity volume.. banning the Lotus 88? Brabham 'Fan Car'.. all engineering marvels or chaging the regs to outlaw the 6 wheel tyrell... or 4wd.
Lots of 'entertainment management' prior to Bernie and Max...
The reality is that unfettered the cars could now exceed the ability of a human driver to drive it...in terms of longitudinal and lateral g forces...Technology could be made to make the driver unnecessary.. unless it was ruled against.
We may dislike the current rules but its a matter of opinion as to which are good and bad.. not absolutes.
