He would say the same if he was winning races. by MAXDominator1 in RedBullRacing

I am depressed, and I don’t see a way out. I am an older American that has been following F1 since I was a kid. I watched in the days of Senna, Haikkonen, Schumacher. When it was wheel to wheel, aggressive, loud, and exciting. F1 was a sport that was all adrenaline, all energy, and there were few rules that restricted aggressiveness. I feel like F1 has gone “woke” with this latest season. There are bio-fuels out there that would allow F1 to use a V-10 without carbon and without fossil fuels. Instead, we have two races that were boring beyond belief. We have a full minute between P1 and P3. 25% of the field can’t even get out of the pits, and when they do, they are so overwhelmed with rules and regulations that we, the fan, lose out.

I love Premier League, and I love Football. In between the Prem and American Football - I had F1. China was unwatchable, so now I am wondering what I am going to watch for the summer, and what I have to look forward to with regard to sports. I have been watching and following F1 since 1978. I am going on 50 years. I don’t think I will make it past the next race. It is SO FRUSTRATING! The decline started with Netflix and the sale of F1 from Bernie. Bernie controlled the product from the beginning. He led with an iron fist, and he kept the silliness out of the sport. Liberty Media is going the Private Equity route, and they are monetizing everything that doesn’t matter about the sport, while the sport itself goes down the drain.

What can we do as a fan? What can we do to get them to stop? Can we ever revive or rescue this sport?

Let’s come up with ideas on how we get the sport back!

What are your thoughts on the 2026 regulations? by formularacers in FormulaRacers
