Just curious. I started watching F1 back when DTS started airing (so during Hamilton’s domination). It was fun, even though results were often predictable (HAM-BOT-VER).

Then there was this awesome season when Max got his 1st WDC title. It was the most fun I ever had with any sport ever.

But now? I still watch races, but, I won’t lie, it’s getting less and less exciting. I noticed that F1 is no longer a huge talking-point in my friend’s group, as there is just less going on. Max has so huuuge advantage, that it feels like all that sport magic is gone.

What are your thoughts on this? Are you still watching races every rawe ceek? Do you still feel engaged in F1 community?

    Nobody complained about that, so I’m a bit surprised that this is popping up so much this season.

    You’re joking, lying, or you’ve no idea what you’re on about. Plenty of people moaned plenty about Mercedes’ crazy dominance. We moaned when they did an illegal tyre test, but got a slap on the wrist and kept the gains. We moaned when they just spent boatloads and threw money and people at the car. We moaned all the time. If the winner is completely predictable, barring breakdowns/crashes, it’s a big black mark on a race. That’s been the way even before Mercedes when Vettel was just smashing races weekend after weekend.
