Spa is actually the best race, I miss the rainy Sundays in Belgium when Schumi owned.

I really hope it rains again.
1.
look at how close schumi had rubens to the wall.
2. They need to ban tracks like Hungaroring and Monaco that promote processions rather than racing, granted this year's race in Hungary was different from the norm. No point in a race that is largely determined on Saturday barring something outrageous.
Surly there are teacks that can be just as technically demanding while have much more places where the opportunity overtake is high.

The tracks aren't the problem, it's the cars.
About the Schumacher/Barrichello thing. It was incredibly dangerous from Schumi, but Rubens put himself in that position, when he could have gone down the racing line. I've come to find the Brazilian quite irritating actually, especially after this team orders saga.

what's wrong with the cars in your opinion? U refering to the turbulent air they leave behind?
I'm looking at it from Button's POV, your either on the narrow racing line or your screwed cuz the otehr side of teh track is that much dirtier compared to other tracks where the racging line and the track itself are a bit wider so cars can over take a little easier.

Yes, the turbulent air makes it very difficult if you're against a half decent car and driver (see Vettel vs Alonso yesterday) on exactly the same strategy. Barrichello only got close to Schumacher thanks to his brand new tyres. There needs to be a cut down of this downforce, because on tracks like Hungaroring and Circuit de Monaco, the cars are designed to favour downforce over straight line speed.
Look to when Senna was around and the designs of cars weren't as complex to maximise grip. That is at Hungary.
On top of that, the refuelling ban is very strange when you think about it because fuel strategies make the field more unbalanced. You used to get drivers like Trulli who held up everyone and caused a train of cars where there was overtaking.
Edit: And this is proved by the usual bore fest which Bahrain produces every year. A circuit with 3 or 4 genuine opportunities to get into someones slipstream and overtake them and there is hardly any action.

Yeah but, if the make a rule to lower the max downforce you & i both know teams will bitch like hell about it & talk about safety with cars not being able to stay on the track because of the lower downforce. That could be easlit countered though by the fact then that the cars back in the 90's had bigger engines and there fore more speed and they still managed to stay on track with less aero grip.
And yes, bahrian is a complete borefest and IMO so is Monaco where the only thing worth watching is qualifying!
But you think they should bring back re-fueling for next season?
Exactly, a few years ago when they started with this bullshit of changing the rules and adding too many regulations every season, I said that this might hurt the sport. Now I don't know if it is hurting the sport or not but you can be sure that I have lost interest. I just follow the results and I watch some bits of some races.
They got rid of the V10 engines for a reason, to slow down the cars. The cars will still be infinitely safer than they were 20 years ago, just less grip so they don't cruise around bends like they do.
Yes.
Strategies involving fuel were there to mix things up, it just adds to the excitement. F1 officials have tried to make it more about racing than what teams can do in pit stops, yet now it's got even worse. On Sunday you had the top 4 all decided by who went into the pits and who didn't because they were all able to use one pit stop.
