@Machpants said in Formula 1:
Much more focus in the UK media on Christian Horner's private life than anything going on down on the track.
That said, what happened on the track was a procession.
F1 has really lost its way. Yawn!
Interest of the track in UK media is coe a) we still don't know the result of that, unlike who will be champion this year and B ) it's not UK hero Hamilton on top so they snipe at red bull
This is the worst take ever. Hamilton is barely loved (which I don’t really get as prob the best British sportsman of the last decade) and Red Bull is a British team full of British excellence (an increasingly declining commodity).
The media here LOVE a scandal, especially of somebody at the pointy end of success.
Boring race at the front but the middle places had some interest. It’s up to the others to catch up, not RB to slow down.

Disagree. This has been F1 forever - a team gets an advantage and dominates. The secret is to have rule changes at an increased pace. This needs to balanced with the cost of making such changes in what is the pinnacle of motorsport engineering.
That or ban Adrian Newey. Plenty of entertainment if you ignore the Red Bull procession.

Yeah shithouse that seemingly without even trying the leader can build a 30 fucking second gap before he even needs to pit. How?
Take the best aero engineer motorsport has seen and add a prodigy who has been trained since he was in nappies to do nothing other than drive a vehicle faster than everyone else.

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.
