So was I the only one who was wanting Hamilton to pull out a huge lead only to smack it into the wall with 5 laps to go?

Bring back a stick shift and clutch pedal - see who's quick then!

wouldn't go that far you get hot hatches with flappy paddle boxes nowadays. It would be a bit crap if a stilo was more advanced than an F1 car

I would get rid of all driver aid to be honest.

No traction control, no adjustable maps, no pitlane speed buttons, no anti-stall programmes.

Man & machine in perfect harmony. not machine & machine with some bloke pointing it in the right direction in perfect harmony.

Sounds like NASCAR. Not a huge fan but certainly more entertaining than F1 which kind of proves your point.

A1GP is also like this and I quite enjoy it, it can see a little Mickey Mouse at times though.
