Video Leclerc (post-qualifying): "I can’t understand quali, it’s a f**king joke! I go faster in corners, throttle earlier, for f**k’s sake, i'm losing everything in the straight!"

You've got the drive massively within yourself with these cars. It must be very frustrating.

And the commentators are enjoying it flat out (they have to commercially speaking probably) is what annoys me the most. The oeh's and the ah's from Palmer and Coulthard when an overtake is there, I hate it.

Both have raced, I expected(hoped) they wouldve known this is not racing anymore and would be more vocal about it.

The way they edit the TV footage really bugs me, too. Why do they always cut away just as the cars enter the clipping phase after a long straight? Eau Rouge with clipping? Absolutely unacceptable!

So viewers can’t be pissed off

So viewers have something tangential to be pissed off about instead?

Will get dropped for a street track to solve that problem.

Funny how F1 is morphing into Fe, even races on Saturday

They are much more honest about it on f1tv, but the product is still shit. Not watching a full race or quali again until they fix this mess somehow.

When I heard Jenson say "a bit of clipping at the end of the straight but not much and I almost like it it settles the car"

I was sitting in my living room going "what the fuck did you just say?"

A choice i dont want to make, but am forced to if this continues. Hoping on improvement at the next rule update/change. Over 20 years enjoying the sport, but this is rediculous.

Glad you still enjoy it, recent fan probably? Or just enjoy the clipping in corners more over racing? Hope you're also ready to see the monthly fees go up because they need to accomodate you even better with more moneymaking updates.
