I read that from a person, who says that he won't watch a few races in 2011, just because his favourite driver is not winning :lol:

But you cannot accept that Red Bull is the best team at the moment :p

Course i can accept red bull is the best team. theyre doing the best job with the best car and have made very few errors....

....But its still abit boring. Im glad alonso won in silverstone, but that too was just plain boring. The only entertaining parts were Massa vs Button, and Hamilton vs Alonso. The season is lacking something. Even then Alonso just let lewis by and didnt even bother trying an ounce to defend. Its like, last year there was always a mistake, or something happeneing which every race saw one of the big guns out of position. It was the close rivalry which really brought it in. I mean one week it would be Mclaren vs redbull, then ferrari vs redbull, then ferrari vs mclaren. It was such a lottery that in the end, every driver deserved their position that they got. Was fab.

But yes! Monza, Spa, Singapore and Korea are the tracks I am eagerly waiting for. They threw good races last year. So thats my only hope. Otherwise, I find this season boring compared to last year where the top 5 drivers in F1, were neck and neck. infact, the more i reflect, the more I realise how boring tracks like Germany, Hungary and Suzuka are. They just never produce great racing in my opinion for the past couple of years. Im looking forward to india. NOT. Probably another boring waste of a slot. Still wish Magny-Cours and Imola was back. Get rid of that piece of s*** Abu Dhabi and Valencia. Infact, get rid of monaco too. Its the most boring race on earth. One year (this year) doesnt make up for the fact that the only interesting thing last year was Alonso crashing and being 24th, and then the rest of the processions for the past umpteen years now.

Thats my point. It is legal, otherwise they would have been disqualified from every race. But the Blowing, like the Double Diffuser, its being banned from next year, which then means its obviously an illegal concept, so why ban it then and not now? Its just ar****le upwards. Similarly to the F-duct. Was questionable, then clarified as illegal for the next season. So if its illegal then, it should be immediatly illegal now. They did that with the Mass Damper and the flexi floor so it should be done now.

It's going back to Valencia specification, the Exhaust Blown Diffuser overrun is allowed but no changes can be made to the engine mapping between qualifying and race; not that it made a blind bit of difference in Valencia; Red Bull were still dominant despite not being able to run the alleged special engine map for qualifying!
