F1 2024 season

Worth watching the highlights?
I watched as a sort of night cap.
Russell pulled off a rather nice overtake early in the race but there was slim pickings after that.
Horner not on the podium.
I'd say watch the shortened highlights on either the F1 YouTube channel or the Sky Sports F1 YouTube channel.

Red Bull has a car that has dominated for the last 4 years. Just like Mercedes had a car that dominated for 7 years. And Red Bull dominating for 4 years before that, and Renault/McLaren before that, and Ferrari before that and Williams before that, and McLaren again before that...
F1 goes through these cycles, at least until the next regulation change which is coming next season. V12, V10, V8, V6 Turbo, Hybrids, teams that once dominated failed to adapt to the new changes whilst others made leaps and bounds. It always happens. Soon we'll have Audi and Ford engines (possibly Porsche though they've since said they won't be joining but time will tell) joining the fray, shaking up the sport once again. F1 isn't a 'season by season' sport, it's an era by era one. For those not at the top, you focus on how your team progresses, the leaps and bounds it makes during that era. If it flops, the next era of regulations offer a period of hope, change and excitement.
But for those who don't follow the sport it's always "who da champyun!" which is fine, if that's what you tune in for, but for long term fans of the sport (I watched F1 before I became a City and football fan...) the Drivers Championship is a focal point, but not the be-all and end-all. So i'm not surprised Max is seemingly virtually guarenteed a 4th world title; the cars are effectively the same as when the 2021 regulations came in (with a few tweaks). It's how F1 goes.

I'm wondering if Ferrari are thinking they've booted the wrong driver for Hamilton next year?

Sainz was on a mission today. Should prove for some interesting Ferrari v Ferrari battles. Not like he owes them anything. He's battling for his next drive.I'm wondering if Ferrari are thinking they've booted the wrong driver for Hamilton next year?

It was a masterful, controlled drive by a gifted driver, in a superior car, supported by a highly organized and successful team.
Isn’t that what all the teams are striving for?

Your superior car point sums up F1. It’s not a drivers championship because of the difference in cars,Verstappen will piss this year’s championship and it will be a procession every raceNot at all.

And for that reason I’ve gone from watching every race live to being quite happy with highlights as long as I’ve not heard the race result , all very predictableYour superior car point sums up F1.

He’s regularly beaten by LeClerc but Sainz is a top driver. Seems like a nice bloke as well.
It would be funny as fuck if he ended up at Red Bull. Surely Perez will be binned off at the end of this season.
