Deal, did somebody say Deal? Oh, Dean, yeah that's me.
Default European Grand Prix (Spoilers without tags!)

OK, how come the best drivers in the world can't tell when they don't have traction, or keep from wrecking at least 3 cars on the first lap, or more likely, the first turn? Oh, I forgot, the first lap is the only time any passing ever happens.

And why can't the most heavily financed race teams in the world read a radar and NASCAR "Country Bumpkins" can? The one team that did apparently didn't until the warm up lap.

I'm not in an F1 car, but I have driven at Laguna Seca, Sears Point and Thunderhill in pouring rain with standing water and inch plus deep rivers on different tires including R compounds without plowing off the track. I realize it is not the same thing, but at the same time, it F'ing is. Driving within the available traction is a critical part of driving. And I don't have spotters spread all over the track telling me what conditions are like as I assume F1 teams do.

Don't even start me on improperly tightened "lug nuts".

Thank you for reading my Anti-F1 Rant... Let the begin.
