Checo what happened, luck running out?

Didn’t look like Checo was allowed to defend hard.

He tried, but he'd never be able to keep VER on fresh yellows behind him. No reason to be overly aggressive on defence.

This was probably the funniest thing ever. Martin trying to get Jackie back but at the same time egging him on.

Really gutted seeing Mclaren drop so far down the pecking order. Even with upgrades, I can't see them jumping into the top 5 again anytime soon.

And people wonder why F1 is getting worse.

And people wonder why F1 is getting worse.

Not really, the last 3 or so seasons have been pretty great.

As expected the Red Bulls dominated. This year is fast becoming a snore fest with the only fight to decide who is 2nd in the constructors and 3rd for Drivers title. Ferarri's are useless.

It was the highlight of the race.

Also been enjoying it. Merc also had their years of dominance. It is just how it goes sometimes. A team gets it spot on and the other teams need to catch up, and then a new team comes through with a break through etc.

I love the mid field scraps currently between Merc, Ferrari, Aston. I really enjoy watching a dominant Red Bull atm. It has to be admired how strong that car is atm. It wont last though and things might look much more competitive in a few races.

Still rooting for the Alonso victory at some point during this year when Max and Checo take each other out at some point ala Rosberg and Hamilton.

I don't enjoy racing where the dominant team disappears into the distance and the next best arrives for next week's race practice.

And that's different to the last 10 years how?

Us F1TV peeps missed that. Highlight for me was when VER pounced upon a squabbling HUL and LEC.

Just two years ago the title was decided on the final race. That was also the case in 2016. Two good examples from the last 10 years.

Crikey your standards are low. You hardly expected anything else to happen did you?

Im not saying its different. I am agreeing with you that the last 10 years have been boring with always one team being dominant.

In 2016 the two Merc drivers were 130 points ahead of third...

And obviously 2021 was beautiful (although bringing it up is a sure way to trigger the woke brigade).
