I’m pretty sure Rosberg pulls in about $300,000 a year. As far as I know, Michael Schumacher was the highest-paid driver on the grid, and his brother makes a massive salary too.

I honestly couldn't care less if they host another street race!

Pole position: Michael Schumacher
Fastest lap: Michael Schumacher
First one off onto the grass: Nick Heidfeld

1. Michael Schumacher
2. Juan Pablo Montoya
3. Rubens Barrichello
4. Jarno Trulli
5. Kimi Raikkonen
6. Felipe Massa
7. Giancarlo Fisichella
8. Vitantonio Liuzzi

If they have any shred of integrity left, they'll give me that laptop!

Fine, let’s just skip the whole engine and chassis war then!!!! Why not have a tire war instead? Variety is actually a good thing—one brand dominates one track while another takes the next. And if we get lucky, maybe we'll see more than just two manufacturers involved. That isn't a "war," it's just competition. 🙂

Why don't we just go back to making tires that actually last an entire race, like they did last season? Or maybe just bigger fuel tanks? Honestly, I don't see that being much of an issue. The only downside is we'd lose that whole strategic element of NASCAR, and that’s a problem. Personally, I think we need to seriously dial back the electronic driver aids and, if we can pull it off, bring back slicks!

Kenneth White17, you hit the nail on the head. That’s exactly where we lost the plot. There’s just too little left for the driver to actually control. With all this electronics, driving a car feels more like playing a video game than anything else.

Maybe I’m off base here, but that’s just how it looks to me. These drivers should be relishing the fight. They made it to Formula 1—they should be out there hunting each other down just for the hell of it. I don't doubt their talent for a second, they just aren't showing any teeth most of the time.
And don't even get me started on the aerodynamics. I get it, it’s the modern era and we're stuck with it, but it drives me absolutely insane.
I remember hearing Enzo say something along the lines of: "Aerodynamics is what you rely on when you can't build a powerful enough engine." Something like that.

I think they should keep the DRS. Strategy is still a huge part of the game. But honestly? It feels like driving these cars today is way easier than it used to be. Instead of pushing harder, drivers have just become soft. I don't blame the cars or the rules. It’s the drivers themselves. They're just lazy.

Why is racing on track so incredibly dull lately? We’re seeing almost zero overtaking, no wheel-to-wheel battles, no daring defensive moves—just a procession. Honestly, is this even worth watching anymore? I feel like I might be better off just reading the news, and even then, the headlines feel exaggerated because nothing actually happens on Sunday. What’s the root cause here, and how do we fix it? Have the drivers become too soft? Or is it just that the cars are engineered to be impossible to race? And why are we even running races at tracks where the commentators constantly claim there's zero passing potential? It feels like every circuit is described the same way now. Ever since they started talking about how you can't pass at Indianapolis, it's been the same story for every single venue. To me, it feels like this issue is unique to Formula 1; nobody else seems to struggle this much with passing. How do we change the dynamic? Strategy is always a factor, sure, but it shouldn't be the only thing keeping the sport alive.

they always look the same to me.

And they’ll always be the best looking.

You can always spot a Ferrari coming!!!!

I’m not going to bother guessing the top eight. I'll just call it now and we can see who was right at the end of the season:
1. Driver standings: Michael Schumacher
1. Constructor standings: Ferrari

...as for the rest...
