Is F1 Ever Coming Back?

Because I do sort of miss it.

As a life long Formula 1 Racing (F1) fan I've always accepted that it can be really boring at times but like with cricket the ebb and flow of that boredom is part of the charm. Unfortunately back in 2009 F1 boss and disgraced British business man, Max Mosley decided to make the sport even more boring by banning in race re-fuelling probably by spinning some line about the sport needing to show it's green credentials.

The effect was immediate because after the first race of the 2010 season everyone took one look and decided that Sebastian Vettel would win the drivers title and his team, Red Bull would win the constructors title. Nine tedious months later everybody was proved right. Even though Mosley has since been forced out of F1 the in race re-fuelling ban continued into the 2011 season. However the organisers decided to introduce a series of gimmicks in an attempt to disguise how dull the sport had become. These include the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS), the Drag Reduction System (DRS) and tires that are fragile they disintegrate the moment any driver attempts to use them to race. The early races to the 2011 were a farce as the teams and drivers had to learn how to use these gimmicks but now that's been done races have returned to being tedious endurance events that are about 22 hours too short.

That's really a shame because with the current crop of talent the sport should really be enjoying a golden age but instead I'm trying to decide if I can be bothered to actively boycott it.
