so the fact that they arent death machines and the driver has a better chance of surviving a crash means f1 isnt as good now?
rofl, I never once in my comment stated that f1 isn't as "good." All I said was that it was less appealing (to the general public).
It is just a fact of life man. People tend to have interest in something that has increased risk and therefore increased punishments for mistakes.
I don't know what you want me to say tbh lol. What do you think was more thrilling to watch, a 1950's f1 race or a 21st century f1 race? For people who don't know, in the 1950's the f1 cars didn't have seatbelts
because the racers found that being ejected from the seat was more safe in a crash than being strapped into the car because of the risk of burning to death.
I love F1. I love cars. I love the sport but you have to know by now that people would rather watch something that has increased risk than decreased risk. Just how the world works.
Next time think before stating the obvious. I never advocated that the new safety regulations are bad..... All I said was that the appeal is less for the sport. Learn to live with it.
