You've misunderstood. I am interested in racing, I love it. What I'm not interested in is watching an event where the sports governing body allow cheating when it suits them. So of course I'm going to comment on it, things aren't going to improve if no one complains about it.

F1?

I don't actually know the rules, but it's got to be better than F1:

It's beyond belief. An absolute farce.

I won't tune in, I'd rather watch fair racing.

I understand your point, but I disagree because if the FIA don't do anything about it, I won't bother watching F1. What's their goal, to have people watch F1 or slag it off? I disagree with the saying 'there's no such things as bad publicity'. I don't think the publicity FIFA has had has been...

The 2 car limit has been since the 80s I think. In the 70s teams sometimes had quite a few cars (more than 2 I'm sure).

That's harsh

Exhaust emissions? Do you mean the effect of the front car on the aerodynamics of the following car?

It may seem like that, but I think it may be other car improvements that stop little mistakes costing too much time. It's not the speed though, because the faster a car, the bigger difference a small mistake can make. And F1 cars don't just get back up to speed, they're constantly accelerating...

And obviously there's only 1 overtake per year now too.

Again, we probably all remember that. So two overtaking manoeuvers in 2 years. That showed me.

So some cars were faster than others, but you said the cars were more similar. I go back to the late 70s. Part of the reason racing was exciting was because of the new found speed, the style, the personalities and it was more dangerous. But nostalgia is probably playing tricks on you, there...

They were never similar. Seeing your quick edit, I don't recall that much overtaking back then either.

Farce.

So is it done and dusted, or can there be retrospective action?
