Well as you know, or maybe you don't, I am a Nascar fanboy for sure, but really a Motorsports fan. I think Forumal1 has taken a huge step back this year. I will discuss my thoughts in points below. I don't watch F1 anymore, as it comes on at stupid hours in the US. The cars, well they aren't what I think the most tech advanced thing should look like. Well on to the Points.

1. The Cars
Cons
They have lowered down force, but brought back slicks. Net affect, is about 2-3% less speed and not much passing. The cars look like they belong in the 70's with the Thin/Tall rear wing, and the HUGE front wing which is almost on the ground. Not impressed, hate the way the cars look!
Pros
They removed all the extra winglets that some teams would put all over the car! Yea!

2. The Teams
Many people would be happy that McLaren-Mercedes and Ferrari are literally in the back, but not me, those two teams ARE F1. It's not good when they are in the back! Next thing you know you will see Force-India on the podium. NOOOOOOOOO

3. Bernie
Need I say more?

4. KERS
Great idea, bad implementation. In a time when we should be cost cutting (2010 budgets anyone) we introduce KERS. It's almost killed someone, it's too heavy, and honestly not that exciting. Maybe the races in the rain have been the issue, but I think most teams are going to ditch it, so what good is that?

5. Brawn GP
Ok this one is actually a great story, but would have Honda been this good? Of course they have the questionable diffuser, as does Toyota, but Jenson Button going 3 out of 4? That's Michael Schumacher like numbers!

6. Times the races come on.
It used to be the races would start at all hours, but at least I could watch a couple that didn't start at 3-4AM, but this year Bernie has changed the schedules so all the races start around noon in Europe. So what does that mean for me? Well all races come on about 3-4 in the morning. This sucks, I would think the US is a big market for F1 but yet we get the short end of the stick?

Ok a couple things, but really I am most disappointed with the Ferrari's. Yes I like the team, and no I don't have one. I wish I did. I thought they would be better prepared, of course they are one of the teams with the 'slow' diffuser so maybe later in the year they will come back. At least they scored some points this past weekend, but still long ways from where we expect them to be. Not sure I like the way the years shaping up, but Formula 1 Magazine sure does. Yes I will still watch when I can, but only replays, stayed up for the Aussie GP but I can't do that every weekend ..
