In May 2014, Wheels24 reader Fanie Gerber shared his views on what he calls a "boring" 2014 Formula 1 season.
Gerber said: "It's boring, the engines sound like very good tractor engines and the only thing that can be called exciting is the constant talking of the presenters.
Wheels24 reader, Wolfi Hlasek, responded:
I absolutely agree with Fanie Gerber's statements; F1 is a disgrace.
The engines sound like lawnmowers, the cars are downright ugly and move around corners like karts, the rules are idiotic - testing ban, tyre longevity, fuel-flow and quantity, engine rev limits...
Soon the drivers’ farting time will also be regulated. Where else than in F1 do you see a ban on testing? Athletes may not practice? Now that a Sauber has been flipped because of a low nose, will we see pig noses in future?
'WHY CAN'T IT CHANGE THE RULES?'
The International Automobile Federation has implemented this bull**t (ban on testing) why can’t it change the rules when all but Mercedes is very unhappy with them?
In 2013 Red Bull lobbied, b*tched moaned and until tyres were changed to suit its cars, to the detriment of Ferrari and Lotus.
The FIA's rules are knee-jerk reflexes. Did you know some teams arrive at races with nine huge trucks for all the equipment - using up to 50-litres/100km? These races are supposed to be environmentally friendly? Who is bullsh**ting who?
