I find pit strategy to be a factor, but rarely the most important ones. A given chassis performs predictably differently on different tracks. I find the technical design and car setup fascinating - and that is what I think the biggest factor is. That's why teams that win the constructors championship tend to do consistently well even when everyone's pit strategy is the same.
- sbarre 12y agoAgreed! And also the fact that F1 seems to be one of the only professional sports that has no problem changing the rules and regs each season (sometimes dramatically), which makes for much less predictable seasons.. I can't think of any other major yearly league or sport that does that. Imagine if they tried to change the rules in football or baseball like that every season or two?
- Bzomak 12y agoI have absolutely no problem with them changing the rules and regs between seasons. I find seeing which team/driver rises to the new challenge to be a fascinating part of F!. But it does rather annoy me when they change the rules within a season. That always feels like interference and moving the goalposts...
- TallGuyShort 12y agoEven though I'm more interested in the technology than the rivalries, some of the changes have seemed unsportsmanlike, and I don't care for that. I'm definitely in the minority, but I think the change to hybrid engines and the revival of turbos is cool. Screaming V-12's are thrilling, but it's one of the few changes that have allowed them to advance technology other than aerodynamics, and hearing the tires slip is interesting.
