Formula 1: What's Wrong with the Current World of F1?
I will warn all readers now—this is a very opinionated bit of writing and has been inspired by some amazing historic footage of F1 that has been shown by the BBC in the last few weeks.
Some of the amazing footage that has been shown has really got me thinking.
I started watching F1 when I was a lad—maybe no more than 11 or 12 years of age. I remember the weekend when Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna tragically lost their lives.
I've seen the dominance of Schumacher and the men who have been able to limit him to 7 F1 crowns.
In my viewing career I have seen drivers come and go, teams be bought and sold, and the worry of politics rear it's ugly head.
New circuits have arrived, people have retired, cars have crashed and fortunes made.
Yet in 2011 I feel that there is something missing.

Muller beats Huff in race one
Yvan Muller survived some late pressure to deny Rob Huff a home win in the first of today's World Touring Car Championship races at Donington Park. Muller started from pole and had enjoyed a relatively untroubled run for most of the race, but Huff was able to capitalise on some late traffic to close within range with a lap remaining. What had been a one-second gap briefly shrunk to almost nothing, but Muller was able to pull away again as the pair drove around the circuit for the final time.Denny Hamlin Z Line Toyota Kyle Busch Toyota Kimmy Z Line Designs Toyota

Video: Need for Speed Shift 2 moves into final gear
Filed under: Motorsport, Opinion/Editorial, Toys, Videos, Latest News
Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed is set to arrive in UK stores at the end of the week, and early indications are that it's something of a barnstormer.
While not operating on the same scale as Forza or Gran Turismo, the EA race simulator includes official licenses for the FIA GT1 World and GT3 European Championship, including real-world drivers, tracks and cars.
The producers are promising one of the most realistic efforts ever, and has invested a great deal of time in innovations like 'helmet cam' and some of the best-looking night racing we've ever seen. We'll know by the end of the week if the hard work has paid off.
Until then, click below to watch the game's final trailer.
