    If one person considers them boring, it doesn't make them boring. :p

    I'm not sure what they could do to be considered more exciting unless they pull a Jordan and drape the cars with women. They compete in the same manner as any other team but mostly avoid controversy. Nothing wrong with that.

    They've scored points every season they've been in F1, even when it was only the first 6 who scored points, with both cars, except in 2000 when Mr Diniz didn't (Caterham, Marussia and HRT take note), although they've always been a midfield team. I don't think the word 'boring' can really be used to describe an F1 team tbh.
    Maybe the reason RR doesn't like them because a 'sheila' is in charge? I know how modern and forward thinking Aussies are.:1980_boogie_down:

    I've been fond of them since Peter Sauber gave Raikkonen a chance despite him having no experience and Mosley trying to block his super licence. I think they're a great team.

    Their livery is horrible though, I thought it was just some temporary thing at first because they didn't have time to sort stuff like that out after taking over from BMW.

    My issue with Sauber is that they try and run endurance racing strategies in a sport that isn't endurance based. I know Peter has a proud sportscar history, but there is a time and a place.

    I like their 'do something different' strategies, reminds me more of the 'old days', when people would have varying tyre strategies, some 0 stopping to some 2 or 3 stopping.

    You could argue that makes them interesting.

    I am, I am!!! lol, I think RR's on his own, I hope they find some brightly liveried sponsor next year though, theirs is a bit lacklustre I must admit, I miss Benetton for theirs, they nearly always had bright colours.

    Hmm&#8230;
    Here's my offering to answer
    RR's simple question, in one far too simplistic word:

    Yes.
