So now I have heard this numerous times and read it all over and you can even see it in the pits with the pit crew yawning….

Is F1 just too boring for most?

I started typing up a long list of pro’s and con’s… why it was boring, why it wasn’t. It is like telling a Nascar fan that always turning left is shear hell! Personally unless there is dirt under those tires, 4 left turns are a snooze… :) But that is just me.

So I am sure the non-F1 fan says Boring easily. I guess my interest is the technology that the F1 teams use to create (and I mean create) these cars. No kit car Nascar fans! That is why there is a constructors trophy for the past 50 years that personally means something here.

Two passions: fast cars and fast computers.

The tech in the cars and supporting the cars is what continues to drive me to watch this sport. There is no other motor sport that can even come close to F1. I wonder what the future holds for F1 as they continue to fight to tweak cars in the sub second tweaks. When you are looking at wings not being painted on the leading edge just to shave off 1 tenth of a second, tech is completely “driving” this sport.

Next year changes should definitely have impact on how the driver drives the car. But the tech outside the car most likely only becomes more important. I am working on a post about the supercomputers some of the top teams are using. It is fascinating (at least to me) what they are using and how.
