The stop&go was designed to make the race more of a bore to watch as seems
to be the usual thing lately in F1. The most exciting race for longer than I
care to remember was 2 weeks ago when Ralf finally won a race from his big
brother.
Even the commentators seem to be bored. Bring back the good ol days when
there was passing and the races a lot closer and the F1 Gestopo aka
Ecclestone, wasn't in charge.
Whatever you say about NASCAR their races are exciting!!!!!! I was never a
big Nascar fan but it grew on me and now I look forward to watching them
when I can.
I'm sorry I missed the CART race but I was busy workin on the Roadster and
BSing about cars at a car show.
