I can't see the point anymore.

The fastest car nearly always wins, I'd much rather watch British touring cars.

I haven't watched it since Ayrton Senna was racing, loved it all then but over the years I lost interest.

Might one day look into it again.

2nd that. Nothing like a bit of touching body work to make racing more fun :lol:

ive been watching it for 17 years and i think some of the current racing had been some of the best! button in canada last year was jaw dropping.

Having watched most of the F1 races since about 1987 I can definitely say that I think the past couple of seasons have been pretty good.
The racing is much closer and much more interesting to watch.

The introduction of regulations to reduce the influence of aerodynamics are helping in terms of placing the emphasis back on a driver's ability to overtake.

I'm really looking forward to the 2012 season.

I concur, some of the best racing for years has been in the last two seasons.

I just hope the champion won't be obvious after the first three races.

Looking forward to it, but will of course not get into it till race 3. Extended highlights are not the same, especially as the 1/1.5hr intro will be longer than the racing itself, that and it's not as much 'in the background' watching as it otherwise would be and I can get on with other things.
Missing out on the qualifying is a bummer as that one thing I quite liked.

On the plus side, it means I'll not miss it when out riding the bike :D

I'll second that and raise you British and world Superbikes, bit like the touring car equivelant of bike racing but elbows instead of paint and still capable of 200+ mph

I am liking the V8 supercars from down under though, make our touring cars look crap but not enough makers since they banned everything that wasn't Australian.

Bring back the good old 80's and have some group B rallying in there too.

Thats what I say anyway :oops:
