full on straw man

I know your statement is. That's why it's been hard to respond. I'm still waiting on how you think smaller cars will fix Imola.

Man if the Monaco race didn't clearly demonstrate why larger cars make racing worse. There is nothing I could say to change your mind. It is not worth my trouble. You go ahead and think what ever you want to think, I wouldn't stop you.

Monaco has always been like that.

It's clear you don't know what you're on about, and are just parroting someone else's opinion. Maybe after a few years of watching actual races rather than tiktok highlights. You might understand racing.

Lol so you're saying that it is okay for Monaco to be boring and have bad racing but it is not okay at Imola? That seems pretty inconsistent. If you must know I was mostly referring to the half lap red flag that delayed the race for an hour. All three incidents that took place in that first half lab can be directly attributed to the cars being too wide for the track.

Do you have anything better than petty insults?

When did I ever say that? Also there's way more to racing than just overtakes.

too wide for the track.

Modern cars aren't any wider than they were in the 90's, 2 metres. Same width as the 80's and 70's.

When I'm making multiple points that you are just flat out ignoring. Choosing instead to bury your head in other people's opinions. It's the only thing you react to.

I mean, I'm still waiting on you trying to explain how shorter cars would improve racing.
