Agreed Moldy, but even F1 is changing their thinking for next year and "de-technifying" (I made that word up). They've sacrifice tech before anyway. The switch they made to grooved tires and the turbo ban are examples.

for some reason i just hate schumacher, i cant wait untill he retires... lol i have no explanation why but i hate him, i mean its no fun watching f1 if you already know who is going to win! i cant wait untill he retires i used to love f1 when senna was around. He is the best and will always be the best IMO.

Yeah, it makes sense, but I disagree with part of it. Yes, you still need a good driver to win but technology decreases the chances of driver error. Bring back a clutch pedal and stick shift and you'll bring back missed shifts, rev matching, heal n toe, etc.
As long as they ALL don't have to shift and ALL don't have to rev-match, it's still a driver's match.

We're not arguing about a level playing field. We're talking about the limited driver input. Brake and steer is not near as exciting as brake, clutch, throttle, downshift, clutch, throttle, steer...for 12 turns each lap.

We must keep one thing in mind. F1 is about the ultimate persuit of speed on road courses. All of the advancements over the last ten years have all been about speed and safety. Hell, many of this years chassis' are over 1 - 2 seconds faster than last years times. That is mostly attributed to the tire war, and advancements in Aero. F1 still challenges drivers to the fullest extent, but I feel Champ car is a much better test of driver talent and ability. Not the present Champ cars, but the cars of the mid 90's to 1999. No one can dispute the skill required to run road courses, street courses, short ovals and superspeedways. Champ car is the ultimate test of driver skill. I cannot wait for champ car to return to the 900 - 1000 horsepower days.

Schumacher rocks, I've got a Benetton(sp?) Mild Seven hat signed by him, courtesy of Tom walkinshaw (he was part owner in Arrows). Wonder what it's worth today
