Can anyone explain to me why they decided to make the F1 cars run this course in the opposite direction (clockwise) to that of Indy cars when they run the 500 (anti-clockwise)?
@oskari9999 absolutely correct.... no kers and no drs... must have some skills to drive and handle a freaking v10 f1 car at 344 km/h... i think the f1 young drivers of these days don't have so much talent... the car isn't that hard to drive with so much systems implemented on it... the right talent is reveald on this video... again: no KERS, no DRS...
@1226myrcea Kers gives the cars 80 more horses, and drs removes downforce, both of which require a change in driving style to compensate for. How does being more adaptive require less skills?
@1226myrcea KERS and DRS do not make the cars easier to drive. And today's cars do not have any driver aids. The cars in 2003 had traction control, launch control, electronic engine braking, ect. The V10s were great, but the driver aids were out of control during that era, and I'm glad the FIA banned them. Ask Michael Schumacher if today's cars require less skill or if today's young drivers aren't that talented. I get the feeling that he would not agree with you.
@704CarolinaBlue704 Cars are easier than ever to drive today, advances have overtaken driver aid bans. Braking distances are shorter than ever, aero performance is higher than ever, cars can go flat round corners that 2003 cars couldn't etc.
@tubehows4life You read the guy's comment I replied to? He implied that KERS and DRS make the cars easier to drive, and that today's cars have a lot of "systems". He also said that the current drivers aren't that talented. Ironically, today's grid is as talented as ever. I'm not an F1 driver. And I doubt you are. So I wont argue with you over which car is easier to drive. I'll tell you like I told the other user. Ask MSC if today's cars require any less skill. Bet he'd say, no.
@704CarolinaBlue704 Slower cars that can go flat round corners and have the best brakes, slick tyres, best aero etc are easier to race. Plus they dont even go full out because the emphasis is on restraint/not pushing to protect the tires, saving fuel etc, drivers rarely break much sweat in a race.
KERS & DRS yes makes overtaking easier too.
The grid talent 2003 vs today; earned seat drivers vs pay drivers, do the math.The top 5 are closer to each other, it doesnt mean better.
@tubehows4life I already told you that I'm not going to argue with you over which cars are easier to drive. You and I have zero experience behind the wheel of an F1 car. Funny thing is, in my original comment I never once said that today's cars required more skill. Or vise versa. You would have realized this had you read the user's comment that I replied to.
I will say this. There have always been pay drivers throughout F1's history. Even Schumacher started out as a pay driver.
@tubehows4life Being a pay driver in 1991 was no different than being one today. Schumacher's seat at Jordan was paid for by Mercedes. You can spin it however you like but he was a pay driver. There have always been pay drivers. Even on the 2003 grid. Which is why I don't understand your logic behind labeling today's grid as "pay drivers" and the 2003 grid as "earned seat drivers". Don't waste my time if you can't put your bias to the side.
@704CarolinaBlue704 If you think any of today's pay drivers are future world champions then you are delusional. Mercedes are not TATA or MRF (have you even heard of those), and Karthikeyan is no Schumacher.
@tubehows4life Fernando Alonso also started out as a pay driver (and technically still is). Nico Rosberg brought lots of sponsorship money with him when he entered F!. I believe Massa did, as well. So they were pay drivers. Sergio Perez is a young pay driver with lots of talent to back it up. So don't don't act like all pay drivers have the talent of Karthikeyan. Schumacher wasn't the first or the last talented pay driver.
they should bring back this track too

@704CarolinaBlue704 If you're not going to argue that is your choice, but then why reply to tell me that?
And no, today's pay driver's have little or no resemblance to 1991.
Man you're an aggressive bloke, good bye.
