Picture the scene. You're in a second-hand car sales showroom, and there are two salesmen. One, a small, old, strange-looking man with white hair is stood next to what appears to be a modern sports car. The other chap is stood next to an older sports car, but obviously a classic, a high-end model.
You've read up on the two models. Many of the employees of the modern sports car company have said how bad the car is. It's too slow, too quiet, it's unreliable, and it's almost'too easy to drive'.
However, it's also supposed to feature cutting-edge technology, which is a field that's long held your interest, so you query the strange old man.
"You wouldn't understand, it's too complicated," he retorts.
Slightly insulted, you change the subject to the the price of the cars.
The strange guy, "They were originally going to be the same price, but after recent review I am only interested in selling it to people with lots of money. I see you have no Rolex, so I am not interested in helping you any more."
"You're lucky even to be able to see it today - half of the time you can only see pictures of the car's best features that were taken earlier in the day... Unless you pay a premium," he adds.
Consequently, you do not want this gentleman's 'help' any more, and you strongly desire the classic car - you know back in the day it gave pleasure to many, and none of the new design's finest features and excellent performance have been mentioned by the incompetent salesman, and the bickering from the staff is also driving you away.
Unfortunately the other guy says the only thing that could stop you, "This one is no longer legally available."
You dejectedly walk away with nothing, in the hope that perhaps another showroom has what you need.
So... Let's talk about what is wrong with Formula One...
