My point is that by faking excitement (which is what such frippery - including making camera positions closer - would do), you wouldn't solve the real issues.

Nothing fake about good camera positions.

No one factor makes F1 exciting or unexciting, it's a combination of things. I don't know why you would argue against F1 having the best possible camera work.

C4's preview of the season is a mere five minutes on Friday evening - is that it?
I guess they're running promos but I can't say I've seen any. I know they've not had a great deal of time to set everything up but all seems very quiet publicity-wise. |

There was a tv ad promoting it last night on Film4 with a Murray voiceover.

That's my problem with series like GP2, GP3 & Formula E, (and to a lesser extent, bike racing): you're just seeing overtakes without any meaning, any context. Yes there's an overtake but if I don't understand what they're fighting for, what that means for the championship etc. etc. whether that overtake is an easy or difficult one (due to driver or car differences). That sort of thing. My enjoyment of a race is solely based on my ability to follow & understand what's going on track, WHY stuff is happening. Not simply how....

But F1 shouldn't rely on camera positions to generate excitement!

You've said this before, but I personally still fail to see how GP2/Formula E/bike racing don't give exactly the same context about the state of the race and the championship as Formula 1 does.
Formula E: I don't understand how the cars work, and how Kwatts, battery etc. (that I see on the graphics) influence the performance of the cars, so I don't know whether a car is running at full pelt or not. MotoGP: Similar to GP2, and plus I don't understand anything technical of how the bikes work so I struggle to put into context what i'm seeing on screen. |

Indeed. Stick a single camera with a long lens on a hill overlooking the track and have done with it.

Hondas punch out of the slow corners better; Yamaha corner better; Ducatis tend to have the highest top speed down the straights. Suzuki and Aprilia are still finding their way into the mix. And jockey-sized Dani Pedrosa is crap in the braking zone but uses his superior power to weigh ratio to get great starts off the line.

Sorry FOM Fan, I'm pretty sure you've got the cause and effect wrong here. You're fundamentally not that interested in GP2, FE, Moto GP, which is why you don't "get" what's going on in them - it's not the other way round.

No, i'm not interested in them *because* I can't understand them. I would be interested in it if I could. Although I have to say, I don't really care for championships which are purely driver-focused. I mean I don't give a toss who wins the F1 championship for example, I only care for the constructors.

Combination of pace, reliability & adaptability to conditions, as well as the ability to design a car well, consistently & manage its staff & finances well.

*Sigh*...sorry to be tiresome but how is that different from Moto GP and how does the TV broadcast get all that across in F1 that they don't (apparently) get across in e.g. MotoGP?

What wrong with that? You get all those right, and you're likely to win races. (I was including drivers in 'Staff' btw. If you have a crap driver, they're obviously gonna weigh you down...)
![]() BTW: Are we all getting into a stroppy bollox because FOM Fan has a different opinion than the lot of you. ![]() Now.. Watch your F1 Report
