Love it. Even in practice - Sargeant goes to overtake someone on the straight and they eventually just let him past....he's so excited about actually overtaking someone, he forgets you've gotta do all the other stuff and completely overshoots the upcoming corner under no pressure.

I enjoyed the sprint race, though it was inevitable Max was going to overtake Hamilton at some point.

This season is really hard to get interested in
I was very excited when I found that I could watch F1 on my already paid for Sky sub. But only watched 2 races, processional stuff now. Crashes and breakdowns are much rarer, and the pit stops are sull as compared to when they used to refuel. Might as well wrap the season up now, save some environmental harm haha

It’s brilliant apart from Verstappen. Loads of actual races going on.
I do wonder if/when RB sponsors will get arsey tho as he gets less coverage than woujd be expected of the leader. The racing is simply elsewhere.
Yeah, can't remember which race, but basically didn't see Max from about lap 3, until the very end of the final lap. I notice this race they actually made a thing of showing him on the final lap.

I’ve been watching the races. There’s not much worth commenting on. The best storyline’s are about next year
Overtaking does still seem to be quite difficult, although One thing there is a clear reduction in though is retirements / crashes. I obviously don't want anybody to get hurt, but they do add an extra element to it. Nothing like seeing a car blow up with smoke everywhere leaving a trail of oil all over the track to mix things up a bit.
I think some of the malaise is due to the size of the cars. They had the full line up at Monaco and modern F1 seem to have almost twice the footprint of even 10-15 years ago. That has to make overtaking more difficult.

Ignoring the predictable winner out front, I've enjoyed the tussle for the third podium position and those trying to get that solitary point for coming 10th. But that's been F1 for as long as I've been watching.
As to the size, this is a good indication of the problem; so much easier to block:
