If that’s the curtain raiser to a new season of F1, then the seasons over, just give the manufacturers and drivers trophies to Red Bull and we can all watch something more exciting, like the World Paint Drying Championship.
Nothing happened, Max roared off and won by about two weeks, with pretty much nothing going on in the lower order, an occasional overtake, a few tyre changes and that was it, 50 odd laps of sheer boredom.
I used to love watching F1, now it’s just shit
There are lots of things coming together to make it boring:
> One team, and one driver, dominating is only part of it - and it's not their fault that nobody else is up to their level
> The first race of the season, when you would expect teams to be ironing out reliability issues - everyone finished FFS! Back in the good old days, at least you had the jeopardy of drivers going off or cars breaking down
> Sargeant went off early on, Hulkenberg nerfed Stroll at the start and they were I think the only yellow flags of the entire race
> Most of the overtakes were DRS sail-bys
> The ridiculous hype (Liberty ladybits again) doesn't match the product
> Most people seem to care more about who Christian Horny has or hasn't sent pictures of his cock to (I've been sent the link to the dossier and it isn't pleasant
)
> Sky giving it the big'un that F1 is the best thing since sliced bread, when a blind man on a galloping horse can see the opposite
