. 1. So what? 2. Cue GP2 fake comparison with slowest to fastest cars 3. Nothing can be compared, this time it's 2011. Heavier cars, less developed aerodynamically, no blown diffuser, tyres making a big difference. BTW weren't 2011 soft Pirellis completely "evil" not to mention DRS? Another example of unhealthy pick and choose attitude when it comes to bashing any current F1 and any golden age from the past.
The good thing about the past is you can pick whatever you want ignoring everything else. It leads to schizophrenic claims, my favourite is about driving standards. Depending on a situation it was either pushing each other into walls three times per lap and not caring about it. [Berger's fairy-tales after Schumacher's move on Barrichello] Unlike today's weak drivers complaining about safety. On the other hand everyone in the past was a gentleman driver in the mould of Villeneuve - Arnoux, leaving enough space etc. - unlike today's menace to society thugs, pushing people into walls I guess?
Yes, tyres are a bit of a problem and if driving is difficult or risky you can get opposite reaction: instead of driver making a difference everyone may be taking it easy. Looks like only Alonso is in the first category.
