I guess you mean constructors? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Formula_One_World_Drivers'_Champions
Or there was a English person on the team? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_24_Hours_of_Le_Mans_winners
Or there were English races? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Rally_Championship#Drivers.27_championship
Or that one Fogarty guy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Superbike_World_champions
I'll admit that Barry Sheene can't be denied. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Grand_Prix_motorcycle_racing_World_champions
I guess you won some of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ashes_series

Dominated? 

I'm Australian mate.

[tufty]

I meant British btw.

Australian huh? Well I'll begrudge you a couple of decent bike riders, but F1 is all ours (except for that one German guy that no one liked)

I'm not even going to mention rugby and cricket

[EvilSteve]

Funny how you're inclusive of Ireland & Scotland when it suits...

Australia isn't known for F1 that's for sure, Webber is so anvil prone it's not even funny.

[tufty]

Well I just went back and checked and I actually wrote "British" to start with, so as it turns out you made it an English thing. I rest on my original assertion.

[EvilSteve]

And I mine, I said English.

Even if you count all "British" drivers/teams, it's still not what I'd call domination but I'm willing to accept that the clouds and rain in old Blighty lend themselves to a somewhat divergent opinion of these things.

Seriously, I'm just kidding.

[El Matador]

Mosley should keep his nazi loving ass out of the things that make/made F1 great

ghey

Don't be politically correct about it. GAY is how that is spelled. As I have been warning for years now, F1 is fast becoming Spec1 and that is GAY. I haven't watched a single race this year and now have no reason to restart.

I'll have some of what Max and Bernie are smoking, please. 

On second thought, no, that's a very bad plan.

Someone has to be English, sorry.

Actually, while I do agree with your overall statement - I'm losing interest too - we've had a couple of very good races, like as good or better than any in the last several years.

If only it were about the sport and not the money.

Team orders.   How about you assholes just race.

At least he didn't have to give up his car like Fangio's team mate 

Kimi knows the championship is more important. If it weren't the penultimate round I might be up in arms, but now that it's come down to the wire I got no problem with swapping positions.

[EvilSteve]

I don't have a problem with team orders at all, it's *was* a team sport i.e. the team is the priority. Rubens make the beast with two backsed that up for us.

How about this for a make the beast with two backsing bad joke: http://www.crash.net/motorsport/f1/news/170780-0/fia_reveals_2009_f1_proposals.html

Team & driver response: http://www.crash.net/motorsport/f1/news/170797-0/single_engine_rules_would_'no_longer_be_f1'.html

Talk about losing interest, what the phantom menace are they thinking?

I have a hard time believing they seriously think this is a legitimate proposal. They have to realize it'd lead to everyone EXCEPT the millionaire customer teams going away.

I may be watching a lot more ALMS racing next year.

Much better racing than F1.
