I get that their are other things happening during the race. of course it was great to see if the chasing duo would catch Bearman. There were a few good overtakes as well. The predictable outcome is my problem.

Don't worry, It is probably going to be Max's turn to be suspended for leaking evidence this week ......
He is next in line in the hierarchy.

Try to see it from the other perspective, the other way to view that is what's the point of watching sport when only the team you support is winning?

You have to take the losses with the wins. This happens in every sport.

When the All Blacks were dominating, did we stop watching rugby? When the Aussies were dominating, did we stop watching cricket?

You support your team to overcome whatever challenges, and hope to see them get back to challenging at the top.

Don't blame the winner, blame those for not doing enough to challenge the winner...

You are 100% correct.

Plenty of racing at the front, just not for the win.

We could also swing the argument the other way - what are the other teams doing to challenge RB/Max?

Mclaren was literally at the bottom during the first half of last year, then swung it around to start challenging at the front.

2021 was exciting because someone finally took it to Merc/Hamilton. You can't blame anyone else for it not being exciting, except the other teams...

There's no racing at the front. There is only racing for second, maybe 3rd.

Also, nobody is blaming anyone. What a weird choice of words. Just commenting on the current state and pointing out existing points of interest.

Speaking about suspended, I see Checo is quite close to getting a race ban if he receives couple more penalties before September? Would love to see that happen and perhaps get a Lawson in the car for a race.
 
F1TV does include F2 and F3.
i managed to find time to watch the sprint race the other week but no time to watch any other racing this weekend.

What's 2nd/3rd? Is the podium only for first place?

I would classify "front" as top 6 - that would place the top 3 constructors.

Also the current state is what it is. Happens in every sport. Everyone going on about omg Max winning, so boring. That's blaming him, it's not his fault. Happened with Hamilton too.

When someone catches up to RB it'll be exciting again. Until that team takes over and starts dominating, and we're back to moaning about it being boring...
 
If Max goes to Merc, and Newey stay at RB which driver would you like to see in the RB?

Norris, Russell, someone from F2 maybe?

I also think we dont appreciate the engineering skill, driver skill and strategy that RB has. Their dominance is earned IMHO.

Newey would probably go to ferrari.
He has said several times in the past that he regrets having never worked with HAM or Ferrari.
Now he could kill two birds with one stone.
Watching RB implode is probably not doing any good to his loyalty points especially if he wants one last challenge before her retiers.

I hear that provitas do wonders for a diet, tried it once but didn't lose any weight. Might be the steaks and chips I ate alongside the provitas, but the jury is still out on that one

Try Tabasco or Hot Peri Peri source.
Probably still tastes like cardboard but after the first bite your taste buds are so numb you would no longer notice.

You’re going to have an existential crisis the moment Max isn’t handed a rocket ship or if Lewis outperforms Chucky aren’t you? I mean heck you despise Sainz and he’s on the team you support.

Why would LH out perform Leclerc? He can't even beat Osama bin Russel.
As for Sainz. There is a reason he lost his spot at Ferrari, he is not a team player. His one win last year was just due too Le Clerc following team orders and holding the pack up behind him, yet many times over the last 2 years Le Clerc was much faster than Sainz and ignored team orders to let him pass and kept complaining over the radio.
He is useless and only cares about himself.
OH and even Perez intimidates him.
