Sound like remote control cars, and they swapping cars thing is so laughable. Just seems like a category for failed f1 drivers

Exactly that, Alex.

One positive is that they seem a bit of a nightmare to handle. I think I counted 3 or 4 safety cars due to drivers launching their motors over sausage kerbs and straight into barriers.

Also I believe JEV swore over the radio when his car broke down

Speaking of the radio transmissions, it's proper crap compared to F1. No mention of who it is, just a constant stream of drivers talking and you have to guess who it is.

It could be good, but it's far too gimmicky atm.

The cars are the reason the tracks are boring.

They can't do more than about 120mph, that means they can't be used on big open fast tracks without it being really really dull.

The street circuits are supposed to promote closer racing, it really just means there's no overtaking

Maybe it'll be better next season with a little bit of 'troubleshooting' from this season's shortcomings.

Cheers nibnob. I think it's funny but also a good watch, especially without any f1 on.

Instant karma for Lucas di grassi's team. They were cheering and clapping when he hit the wall.

Then di grassi's suspension failed

Mental race. Buemi out, di grassi out (both were leading), heidfeld winning then gets a drive through, bumper cars everywhere.

Pretty cool tbh, shame about the changing over of cars and ridiculously slow recovery of vehicles.

Bit of a logistical nightmare and no doubt transport links will gring to a halt.

I do enjoy watching the series though. The street circuits do make for some spectacular crashes.

Was at Monaco yesterday on a shortened track. Bit shitty and they completely messed up t1 so the start was absolute carnage.

Bruno senna almost flipped his car which was pretty awesome to watch.

Still can't get over the whole swapping cars half way through and having a minimum pit time

Recorded it. Was gonna go watch it but missus hates motorsport and I was working anyway.

Certainly would not want to visit London on a weekend anyway, let alone when something like this is on.

Fell asleep watching it, pile of crap.

Safety car start because they fucked up and left a huge bump on the corner of T1, meaning cars brooe their suspension typical English roadworkers.
