OlivawR: Let's say you can barely leave without a PC today. What's your excuse?
My excuse? My excuse is that I'm not a hypocrite :-o I watched the Olympics in China, the football worldcup in Brazil and F1 in Bahrain (China, Russia, etc). I use PCs and smartphones and even buy and sell gold whenever the gold rate goes nuts. I'm not picky, I do all kinds of evil things.
You know, if it wasn't for people like you, there wouldn't be picky hypocrites like me. It's like the elections, I don't vote because no candidate is worthy of my vote, and I also don't have the option none. But when I say my opinion against politicians, I'm often told to shut up because I didn't vote.

More people who don't watch sport events in Bahrain, but use PCs and wear clothes made in Thailand? Yeah, we need more of them :D

At least I'm trying to avoid something not made by exploited workforce if I can. It's not my fault that the small shop from the corner disappeared because everyone got their stuff from the mall 10 cents cheaper.
Used to be a time when Formula One had improvements to everything over the whole season. Now is just about rules and regulations and it's boring as hell....
It has always been like that. If it wasn't for regulations, I'm sure they had cars that could be beyond the G forces the human body can sustain. Think to Tyrrell disqualification at the end of '84 season. For some reason people think with these regulations engineers at Mercedes, Honda, Ferrari or Renault will go home during the season, because they can't do nothing.

OlivawR: They go the direction the fans want.
I never asked for this.

OlivawR: When Bridgestone was supplying tyres, they were crying because the tyres were tough and lasted a whole race and made F1 boring, now they cry about Pirelli's delta tyres (the reason why Bridgestone left), because they didn't want to supply joke tyres). They said F1 sucks because engine development was restricted, now they cry about the new engines.
Point being - no matter what they do, F1 still suck in later years. Meaning - stuff done in later years was wrong. I have a feeling (could be wrong, I'm a pretty medium tank:)) that going to new markets and dropping classical F1 circuits is one of those wrong decisions. If they drop Spa, Monza, Monaco, I don't know. Plus F1 turns into more blend, less flavoured sport, like many other activities, sport and whatnot (hint: vidjagames).
They suck if you listen to the fans. That's the point. It's impossible to please someone who's always discontent. When you hear someone complaining about boring races they should always be sent to watch all the races from '00s, '90s, '80s, '70s, Boring races and dominant championships weren't invented this decade.

The new engines rules are clearly something to make the engineers work their heads, or else Renault, Honda, Ferrari and Mercedes would be on the same level, which they aren't. This is another domain the fans don't understand. They think that if they have tokens now things are much different than in the past. They weren't inventing the engine every race in the past.

Moto GP. I watched the phenomenal rise of Marc Márquez on Eurosport and then BT Sports which is a subscription channel (if you don't have their broadband) bought the rights to it and I've not been able to watch it since.

I'm afraid F1 has gone from being one of my favourite sports to one I'm apathetic about. It's weird that my interest just waned. Maybe it's because it showed Bernie Ecclestone too frequently for my tolerance threshold.
