First sorry if the first one of this message ever turns up but it seems to
have got lost in cyberspace somewhere.

Just my thoughts

Blood great idea, they have 12 laps in an hour to do a fast lap on friday,
the same on saturday, the the fastest time gets pole, and so on. That was
the mid 90's format, why did they f**k about with it.

Problem solved. If Minardi or Jordon moan tell them to improve their cars
instead of whinging about qual.

It was a good system and IMHO it did also, potentially, give the smaller
teams that little bit of extra time on track in front of the TV, all on
their own.

Exactly. Whatever the method of practise / qualifying, if a car isn't
fast enough, it isn't fast enough.

I agree with you; though it was maily done at the behest of the commercial
TV companies who were getting extremely nervous about the often twenty,
occ***ionally thirty, minutes of unused tarmac they were being forced to
broadcast.

The system chosen still - even three years on - doesn't sit well with the
purists. Qualifying should be about the fastest time the cars/drivers can
achieve; why hobble them with full tanks?

Cheers,

I forget who said it, but there is some truth to the theory that you will
never get great racing when the fastest driver who does the fastest lap in
the fastest car starts at the front of the grid!

Just my two penneth worth.

Oh dear... We can't have any of that now, chaps...

Talk like that might lead to the conclusion that some lads simply
aren't up to getting the job done.

The problem I have is that it doesn't really hobble them with full tanks, it
hobbles the race start with nearly empty tanks and causes farcical events
like everyone pitting on lap 8 and a 3-stop sprint race for the entire
field. It ****s the race just as much as it ****s qualifying. That won't
be the case this year at least with no tyre changes but it's a funny
solution, sorta like flying the wrong way around the globe to get somewhere.

If there was a hard control tyre and full tanks at the start of the race
like there was around 1999 everyone would be doing 1 or 2 stops per race and
there wouldn't be this m***ive speed increase every year (due to ****head
rubber scientist developments) as there is now.

"****head rubber scientist"...

No... I must disagree: Vile hardly *begins* to describe you.

How do you 'disagree'? There is a difference between saying you disagree
and actually demonstrating your disagreement you know! The context of my
post was correct, sure maybe the rubber scients are or aren't ****heads, but
I'm still right!
