The problem with F1

Little comparison between MotoGP and F1.

Recent 21 lap MotoGP in Malesia:
1. Top 5 finished within 5 seconds of each other.
2. Top 10 finished within 30 seconds.

That's what I call competitive and exciting to watch.

Recent 71 lap F1 race in Brasil:
1. Top 3 finished within 57 seconds of each other.
2. Only top 6 weren't lapped by the winner (Kimi).

Although F1 races are much longer, you can still see how uncompetitive most other teams are.

Re: The problem with F1

Motorcycle racing is very close but there are times when riders can open a large gap but it is rare.

Not sure if you're serious or being sarcastic but "F1" stands for Formula 1.

Old news

Half the rules in FIA F1 rulebook are written in a subtle manner to attempt to level the playing field. Although it hasn't worked so far

Re: The problem with F1

it is true... but when someone like Rossi "the God on 2 wheels" dominated in the Honda era, it becomes boring, just like when Schumi "the God on 4 wheels" dominated, and it got a bit boring :-) having said that, I am crazy about motoGP :-)

Re: The problem with F1

From a commercial standpoint there is no problem with F1. From a competition standpoint does the series suffer from too few competent chassis designers? The series certainly does not suffer for lack of money, Honda and Toyota have proven that.
