It's also the straight line/flat out speed that hasn't improved much (or is even less?) than it used to be. When you see these cars drive through Eau Rouge/Raidillon or one of the straights in real life, it looks too slow and simply too safe imo.
Maybe I'm just crazy (
) but it doesn't look like it's going so fast that you'd be scared shitless to crash. (which it should imo)
This is what it looked like for me this weekend:

I don't want to see anyone die, but you can't be having the pinnacle of motorsport looking like it is something that we'd all have the balls for.
"There is a credit card with the Ferrari logo, issued by Santander, which gives the scuderia a % of purchases made with the card...
I would guess that such a serious amount of money would allow them to ignore the constant complains of a car that was nowhere near as bad as their #1 driver tried to sell throughout the season.
Heck, a car on which Massa finishes in the podium or has to lift so that his teammate finishes ahead (As we saw often in the final races of the year) is, by no means, a "bad" car."
