F1 legend: Pirelli tires are dangerous

[gtRTSdh]

Remove all the electronic aids, bring back the unrestricted turbos, flat noses and manual gearboxes. Let's see who can actually drive their F1 cars, like in the old days.

That'd sort the men from the boys.

they have lost the recipe ?

i say bring back monster turbos and ground effects.

I like the tyres, but i think it shoulkd be super soft and super hard, only 2 choices all season long, 1 that is fast but is gone in 15 laps, the other that last for ages but is real slow... or they just run wets whatever the weather...

and this drs thing, if your going to have it, then have it everywhere, not just in 1 place

I think F1 should really take a step back at /some/ point and ask themselves why they're the only series that has to put in so many artifical aids to allow drivers to overtake.

Simple approaches like no pit stops could help (because you'd be amazed at how many designers and drivers could suddenly find ways to pass when they had no other option) might be possible - but there's just somethign fundamentally going wrong here.

It's a a crying shame really; there have been some fantastic races recently, but when that's all in the shadow of, 'oh x has just entered the DRS zone in the first half of the second quarter which means he can apply a boost of 0.3% and press the third button on the left' it just all gets a bit silly.

I grew up with F1 in the 80's and 90's so I suppose I was a bit spoilt.
