Are people getting used to boring races as 'fun to watch' ?

Re: Rate the 2009 Italian Grand Prix
You see, for me that wasn't that boring. There was enough tactical interest in between the fun first 10 laps and the fun last 10 laps to keep me interested. It wasn't a classic, but it's a dark horse/sleeper hit type race that will be a good alternative to the classic races you've seen so many times.Zack wrote:Are people getting used to boring races as 'fun to watch' ?
No, I'm not calmer. Just more jaded.

You could pick from:sejtur wrote:3 - Best Overtake: ?

ALO > VET (inside, curva grande)
LIU > KOV (outside, parabolica)
ALO > KOV (inside, turn 1)

TRU > GLO (outside, turn 1, move completed turn 3)
GLO >TRU (switchback, turn 1, move completed lesmo 1)
BUE > FIS (inside, variante ascari)
There were more, I'd have to watch it again to list all of them, but that's just the good ones.

Not sure but didn't even find it average ... Few moments i can summarize ..TwistedArmco wrote:You see, for me that wasn't that boring.

Start >> As expected Sutil loses place Kimi; Clean start
After few laps >> Lewis - Kimi - Fisi were not able to create gap .. So Brawn had it in their bag.
Lewis crash >> unexpected but not enough to make race funny or even average rating.

But I can remember that alonso vettel one. I think I'm voting for that one, overtaking there at high speed and the braking looks so cool.

Re: Rate the 2009 Italian Grand Prix
If you look it like that, you could say that at least 90% of the races are boring. It's very hard to find a race that has something going on every lap. That's why it's usually a couple of moments that kind of define whether the race is a classic or not. This race had some good fighting on track, unexpected crashes, different race strategies and race leaders so it seemed better than average to me.Zack wrote:Are people getting used to boring races as 'fun to watch' ?
