Enjoyed that race for once.
Monza is a proper circuit, how many overtaking opportunities were there?
Not like these safer photogenic generic tracks that they are compulsed to generate nowadays.
I wish Hochenhiem had not been bastardised to conform, that too was a real racking track.
Same as mate and it was enthralling viewing.
Got to really appreciate the tactics and skill of the competitors, the way they were feigning an approach to a bend and making the car in front commit to a less than efficient decision by breaking to soon or too late was compulsive to watch.
Agree about the courses, some have been over sanitised and it is virtually a boring procession, although after saying that older circuits such as Monte Carlo are not designed for F1 and the speeds reached today of up to 225 mph would be unimaginable for the most part.
In that case the capabilities and performance of the cars and the drivers are dumbed down to tackle the slower than slow bends which racing cars of yester-year could negotiate with ease.
Swings and roundabouts really to be fair.
