        Anybody else kinda bored with F1 this season? I'm psyched for Antonelli getting the WDC, but this new gen has caused me to lose a bit of interest.

          Hamilton's not that far behind given how much Antonelli has won. so I'd pretty exciting this year

            In general, I really dislike the new regs. Sure we have a few teams very close to each other at the front. But I hate that the poor sods have to back off the speed in the fast corners. This supposed to be the pinnacle of motor sport. Leave the e-shit to the woke-formulae.....

              It was also really stupid to change PU and chassis regs, AND distribution, all at the same time. They’re suffering from their stupidity there. It’s just not a good viewing experience anymore and they squandered the opportunity they had to grow the sport exponentially.

              Think it, be it.

                  I never understood having hybrid motors when they use cargo jets to fly all over the world. Not to mention the private jets. F1 does not appeal to people who buy hybrids, in general.

                  I wish they’d just go back to NA.

                    I’m a huge Lewis fan, so I’m still rooting for him. Saw him win the championship in Abu Dhabi and I’m more than happy to go for a drink with him anytime.

                    Who’s looking forward to the new Saudi track with a 20-storey high first corner. Get me in that crazy swimming pool!

                            The Mad Ring was not as crazy as I thought it would be. Lots of corners, to the left and right.....with maximum quantity of close walls on both sides. One of the tracks of all time.....
                            so,
                            Baku will be more interesting.....right?

                              There’s a lot to like about Isack Hadjar

                              Formula 1 drivers, eh?

                              They don’t make ’em like they used to.

                              Fifty years after Niki Lauda was burnt to a crisp and returned a few weeks later – looking like a roast chicken, as one F1 reporter put it at the time – here comes Isack Hadjar taking a whole month away with a hurty wrist.

                                        He IS consistently starting from the back of the pack and DNFing, yes. Lance gets a bad rap, the problem is clearly Newey, and his Honda-powered Aston....
