The Boost Buttton!

Those into Formula 1 will know that almost every year the rules are changed, this is usually to increase excitement in the races. For next years the aerodynamics are changing and so are the tyres, which are all arrantly to make overtaking more possible in the races. But the change that made me laugh was the introduction of ‘The Boost Button’.

So as if you though F1 wasn’t exciting enough for a game, well I would imagine this is going to put some smiles on a few faces. Apparently it’s an energy conservation device, that over the period of approximately 1 lap will store up energy created from braking, and then when the driver desires can press ‘The Boost Button’ and get an extra 80 horse power for a few seconds. As awesome as it sounds I cant help but wonder what person sat down and decided, you know what F1 needs, some speed boost, obviously thought up after watching some nos fuelled fast and furious racing.

I can’t actually wait for this, but with these changes every year what on earth will F1 be like in 5 or 10 years time, I’m thinking F-Zero will come soon…
