I really dont see why him not racing will make people not watch.
He has not been driving for a few years now, and when he did all people done was moan that he was up front and not racing anyone. People have not missed him but now do, find that strange.
This years viewing figures have been one of the highest, yes people are not going to the races but the TV figures are up.
Having him back would not make the racing any better, there are plently of drivers out there that can over take but thanks to the rules its not happening.
This season is rubbish but is getting better as teams like Ferrari, Mclaren and Renault are getting back on the pace. The rules have messed this year up but like most years you need it to rain to make the action better.
Having MS back would have added nothing at all, yes more people would watch to see him. But who really cares we want racing and we are not getting it and thats due to the cars not the drivers.
LOL Martyn. I have seen many jokes about it today, all he has done is make himself a laughing stock tbh which is a shame. He should have done the tests etc then let the world know that he was going to drive. Not tell people he would then wont, fans got their hopes up only to have them dashed.
Now people are stuck with tickets to races that they dont want to go to, flights booked etc. But he did warn people that he had to pass tests, real F1 fans knew that he was still not right after the bike crash. I said to Neal in Germany that it wont happen, I just think the whole thing was not done the right way.
This is why I dont watch F1 for one team and one driver, I watch it for the racing.
