(As well as stuff about skill, competition and fitness). So F1 is a sport. Snooker and darts aren't. Good to see that, so far this season, it looks like being more competitive than in recent years.

I think his biggest problem is that the very good driver is being crushed by the focus/energy and brilliance of Hamilton now. He just can't keep up with the intensity that Hamilton brings to every race. As soon as Hamilton goes ahead it's almost as if he subconsciously moves into a support role, creates a gap between the cars and lets Hamilton push on without pressure.

Tazio Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Christ that was boring. DRS was introduced to make overtaking possible but now it’s made it too easy. One of the skills of a driver was defending their place now as soon as the car behind is less than a second gap you have no chance as they gain so much extra speed in the DRS zones. There isn’t even the lottery of cars breaking now as they’re all engineered to be in a comfort zone instead of pushing the envelope of performance.

Mikey1874 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Depends on what you want. Absolute full on racing would need a lot of changes. Tyres for a start. They are trying.

Taffin Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I like Monaco for nostalgia, it's the one I remember as a kid. There's plenty other circuits 'better' for racing to enjoy, so happy for it to remain. Plus the skill of driving around a circuit like that at those speeds is incredible. Verstappen to finish the weekend 1st in the standings? Could be close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micole Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I have attended a couple of F1 races ( Silverstone). Went with a few mates which had very little interest in F1 and were basically going for a weekend away. Once we got there the atmosphere was great and they got caught up in the whole occasion and loved it. As someone has already said the Sky documentary " Drive to survive" is excellent even if you have no interest in F1 it is still gripping TV, as my wife will testify ( she has no I interest at all in F1 but loved the documentary). Big sporting events all have a special atmosphere I have been to the WC in 1998, a few open championships, and as I said F1, all brilliant.
