Grand Prix Boredom

[PMC]

This weekend marks the return of Spa to the Formula One calendar, but I however won't be watching the race.

It's not because of the track, which is of of the few remaining circuits offering some genuine entertainment, nor is it because of the unpredictable weather which can throw up a suprising result or two (think Jordan's maiden win in '98).

It's because one team and one driver in particular are going to dominate.  Schumacher is traditionally strong at Spa, plus the Ferrari could be purpose built for the circuit.  If it rains then Schuey is guaranteed to make everyone else look stupid too...

In short, F1 has become samey and boring.  

How would you spice up F1 for greater entertainment?

I used to watch F1 until about 4 years ago when it became so dull...

So what you you do to liven it up?

Personally, I'd remove the wings, bring back slicks and "proper" tracks which are more about spectacle than pit lane facilities and executive washrooms for Mr Ecclestone et al.

I can never understand the rules of Cricket - this is despite coming from a cricket obsessed family and Golf drives me to new levels of mind numbing tedium.

However, for sheer brain draining, ego sapping monotony you can beat bowls...  The excitement of seeing a bloke gently rolling a ball down a lawn is indescribable.  At least a Grand Prix car is capable of frightening small children, which is a very rewarding passtime...
