I suppose its becoming a bit boring but its not ferrari's or schumi's fault, its the other teams who have not done their homework in the off season.

Well lets hope they give ferrari a run for the their money next year and ferrari and schumi win it again at the last race.

that is definetly a factor but look at the lower teams and compare them being michellin or bridgestone and i dont see that the tyres are the major difference

yeah I'm sick of Ferrari always winning too...

but as someone pointed out to me, other teams have had times when they've dominated too.

It would be good if it didn't work that way, but it seems to be the way F1 is. It turns a lot of ppl off watching it "too boring" "too predictable" etc etc...

I'll keep watching though, at least Juan is up there on the podium sometimes :), even if it's behind the other two....

With the smaller teams, cause they don't do much testing with the tyre manufactures they don't perform well on their cars. Ferrari, Mclaren and Williams have massive budgets and can afford to test with the tyre manufactures. So therefore the manufactures design tyres that suit the top 3 teams.

What would make it even far more interesting is if Goodyear or another tyre manufacturer come into the frame.

I'll always watch F1. The best drivers are there, and so the best car designers are too. It's automotive at it's best. I admit I don't like Schuey on a personal level, but he is still the best driver out there without a doubt. And also exciting to watch.

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
