Just curious. I started watching F1 back when DTS started airing (so during Hamilton’s domination). It was fun, even though results were often predictable (HAM-BOT-VER).
Then there was this awesome season when Max got his 1st WDC title. It was the most fun I ever had with any sport ever.
But now? I still watch races, but, I won’t lie, it’s getting less and less exciting. I noticed that F1 is no longer a huge talking-point in my friend’s group, as there is just less going on. Max has so huuuge advantage, that it feels like all that sport magic is gone.
What are your thoughts on this? Are you still watching races every rawe ceek? Do you still feel engaged in F1 community?
I started watching in 2006, I’ve never followed one particular driver or team, always rooted for a good race. There’s 20 or so drivers out there having 20 different races. I’m always looking out for something while watching, who’s gaining on who, will Norris pit now to undercut Stroll or go long etc etc. I think drive to survive misrepresented the sport in a lot of ways, it’s glossed over the real stories of engineering and endurance. I honestly couldn’t watch past episode 3 of season one I’m enjoying this season, we had 7 seasons of Mercedes absolute dominance, I’m not bored of something different just yet
