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?
Because of the 2022 rule change, F1 has not had racing this physically close in a long time. Being able to be in and around each other and have proper battles, take different lines over/under etc and all that racecraft is fantastic to see. Thats what I love to see in motorsport. And while yes, Max is off in the distance, the rest of the field are often fantastic to watch. The 5 car battle in Austria last year would not have been seen in anything but the wet or 1st lap previously (unless you go back 30-40 years).
