From my perspective, yes. It’s only in recent times that questions have been asked.Has it?
It's F1; it's always been this way and nobody should kid themselves otherwise.
Still 7 different teams in the top 10. And It’s more racing now compared to last season. Well, maybe not so for Mercedes.7 different cars in the top 10 only really means something if they're all racing each other for the win. The spread across the field is ludicrous and in direct contrast to the promised closer racing. Basically, the 2 teams in each pair that are closely matched race either other well, but then there's a second a lap to the next battle. If 7 teams were all within 2/3 tenths of each other then that's closer and better racing.
Switching Lewis for Leclerc is just a gimmick, not a meaningful change.
2 at the top, a lot of following around with big gaps and some midfield squabbles.Still 7 different teams in the top 10. And It’s more racing now compared to last season. Well, maybe not so for Mercedes.
No gimmick to me. Not just LeCler but also Ferrari.
I wouldn't bother with him mate, he's a fucking loon.Frankly I think you're a lost cause. All the other Motorsport related forums I'm on are just over the moon we've seen such a great battle for the lead.
If you can't enjoy that race then that's your loss.
100%. Moaning little softarse. He’s made for Red Bull, horrible little whiny team.Verstappen is a moaning bitch.
Don't think there is anybody more dislikable in sport.
Which was in sector 2 and lasted 7 seconds whilst Le Clerc/Twat were in sector 3.The crash / coming together with Albon and Stroll .
Don’t watch it than. Unless your life is as boring as well.2 at the top, a lot of following around with big gaps and some midfield squabbles.
Meet the new F1, same as the old F1.
Yeah it’s a big ask for Merc to improve enough (but if anyone can) then we’d have 6 genuine contenders to win each race (Russel is showing he’s no slouch against his more illustrious team mate).Theres been more drama in the first 2 races this season than in many a season before it. I just want to see Hamilton getting back up to compete with the other 2 imagine the 3 of them fighting for the lead would be good with there team mates not too far behind them. This is Merc get there act together could be the best F1 season of all time.
He made his way to 6th but the safety car combined with closed pit lane shafted him.I've not seen anything assessing why Hamilton made so little progress yesterday, although he obviously lost out from the safety car. Was there anything else that happened to cause such relatively little progress through the field?
Russell seemed to be okay, so why the difference In race and qualifying?
It's looking promising, but from a low bar. The driver/car quotient still means it's a fluke if a slower car beats a faster one. The first seasons of the turbo era was the heyday of F1 when all the cars had more power than the chassis/tyres could handle, meaning the driver's ability outweighed the tech. Ever since Jim Hall pioneered the "ground-effect" aero-dynamics with his Chaparal, over-taking became more difficult, but the wings were very lucrative as travelling bill-boards. After decades, the issue is being addressed, now you can closely follow without wrecking your tyres, though with DRS it still means passing opportunities are rationed. The changes have come about to counter the falling audience figures/ad. revenue, more racing like the two this season will achieve this, imo.Theres been more drama in the first 2 races this season than in many a season before it.

thanks, so the Mercedes was the 3rd best car really.
Makes qualifying look even more odd.
As all the Hamilton fans used to like to say during all those years of Mercedes domination: "No one's forcing you to watch"2 at the top, a lot of following around with big gaps and some midfield squabbles.

Moral duty to flag the unsavoury elements. If you want to support cheating, go watch the Dippers or Rags.As all the Hamilton fans used to like to say during all those years of Mercedes domination: "No one's forcing you to watch"
