Irvine: F1 is becoming a game

Not anymore. I started watching practice last night almost relcuctantly. I had told myself that I just didn't care anymore. But. After watching the cars twitch and slide I was hooked through the entire session. Formula 1, practice no less held my attention for an hour and a half straight. That hasn't happened since I first started watching it as a teenager. That one huge drift that Hamilton did made me say "holy sh t" out loud. I really enjoyed it.

With wider rear tyres and a slight adjustment in the weight balance you could see more sliding, a bit like the A1GP cars, which can get sideways and still be quick.

Yes, I feel that the drivers have been somewhat playing down the loss of TC. Obviously to them, some of the world's greatest drivers, it is something they can get on with and deal with, but as a viewer you can see the difference.
