This sport really is in a dire state, one more year of this is really going to do some serious damage.

 

[GTFan24]

That race was Paul Ricard levels of awful. Once Lewis made it past turn 1 it was literally over.


And some people actually want this domination to keep going for years...

 

[PeterJB]

Literally nothing happened. Russell and Giovinazzi crashing out has no effect on the championship and all the safety car triggered by it did was give the whole grid a free pit stop. Tyres were clearly fine, the rain didn't come, that's the worst Belgian Grand Prix I've seen in twelve years of watching this sport.

 

[C-ZETA]

That was very long and boring.

 

[Jimlaad43]

I don't know what race you guys were watching, but there was a hell of a lot going on in the midfield. That wasn't a boring race at all.

 

[AshenGraey]

Why did I wake up early today?

To watch the same 3 drivers finish in the same or different order than they started

 

[BrainsBush]

Glad I fell asleep so I can stay awake during the Indy race this evening (CET).

Did you by chance watch F1 during the era of Ferrari domination? I wouldn't be too worried. But if you'd like some real competition, definitely tune into the IndyCar race later today 👍

Are they racing on an oval or a real track?

 

[GTFan24]

Im sure some people will use the midfield as an excuse to salvage this mess of a race.

The sport is gonna be literally in serious trouble if this crap still continues in 2022

 

[PaMu1337]

I think Ferrari is now P6 in constructors championship

You saying Indy's not a real track?

It will get better, but Bernie's self serving ways have brought us to this point... reform is a slow train... Its unreal that the latest concorde agreement still favours Ferrari...

You're just out here making all sorts of friends, aren't you?

They need all the help they can get.

 

[PaMu1337]

Even Brundle sounds bored

Not to go off topic from F1, but what the Indy guys do on ovals is pretty tough. Probably some of the most dangerous car racing in the world.

 

[DesertPenguin]

It was just a question, relax. I'm so bored I'll watch any actual racing at this point

 

[Veinz]

5/7 races with the same guys on the podium. F2 has been more interesting.

Everybody seems sort of downbeat.

 

[Dreadmed]

I made a half-promise to myself to turn off if the status-quo remained unchanged after lap 1 (half-hoping for a Banzai move from Ric), stayed out of hope that Max might be able to make things interesting... it's the hope that gets you.

 

[Jimlaad43]

It's got an infield circuit right, that's real.

 

[Ether]

Here's hoping the second half of the season will be a great watch with all the new and returning circuits though.

Oof, yeah I forgot that thing existed... I really hate that circuit lol

 

[AshenGraey]

2 more laps and Ricc would have probably been on the podium....I really hope we'll get to see him fighting at the front with the McLaren/Mercedes next season. The car seems to be good but just need a more powerful and reliable engine.

 

[PaMu1337]

Not holding out much hope for Mugello.
Portimao, Imola and Bahrain Outer could be interesting

 

[DesertPenguin]

It's got an infield circuit right, that's real.

And a fun layout too. I like the updated version of it

 

[C-ZETA]

Still, if this is all too much for you, MotoGP's back in two weeks time.

Bottas can't touch Lewis. Just hoping for more good midfield battles/coverage, and an occasional Verstappen challenge. Oh and some rain

Ah yes... a series with ACTUAL competition at the back and front!

Thank god we have F2.

If F1 could be as consistently exciting as F2 then I would be very happy.
