I think I speak for most people when I say F1 was the most exciting in the 1970-1980's, where 800-900BHP was the "soft-cock" cars and 4-BAR of boosty goodness was where the real men were at
Where powersliding out of fast corners and onto the starights was just driving, where if there was a gap you dived in and where every race could be, and sometimes was, your last.
F1 now-a-days is 1000% safer for the drivers (good thing), more poitcal (bad thing) and more limited by rules and regulations.
However it is good to see the most cars from the major teams (and some minor teams) mixing it up. EG: LOTUS being the car to beat on the straights, RED-BULL being the team to beat on the fast corners and Mclaren being the ones to beat around the rest.
Not too sure how I will feel in 2014... with 1.6L V6 and Turbo?!
