How To Make F1 More Interesting.

1) Reduce car width by 70%

2) Remove 2 wheels

3) Replace drivers with fearless wizards

4) Rename it Moto GP

Guess everyone has gone to Stoneleigh and is waking up in the rain having missed the Shanghi Moto GP. Rossi is pure genius and Lorenzo a true hero.

All those guys are super humans.

Let's here it for some proper racing.

Don't mention the poison dwarf and motorbikes in the same breath. Keep the F1 government as far away from real racing as possible for as long as possible.

I stumbled on that race by accident... woke up early, couldn't be bothered to lie in bed, so got up and got breakfast. Wandered into the living room and turned on the telly - and there they were, getting ready for the warm-up lap. Perfect timing!

It was a good race, with several battles through the positions. Nice to see Melandri doing so well.

did anyone else notice a complete lack of spectators?

The stand at the start/finish bit was packed, but there were other stands that were totally empty.

Usual story, i went two years ago and only the main grandstand was occupied, all the other stands around the circuit were empty.

Or... leave them with 4 wheels, put a roof on, take off 500hp, send them around Donington with a sprinkling of rain and call it BTCC. These Sundays with it on live all afternoon are no good. I don't get anything done!
