Are you still enjoying F1 this season? (lemmy.world)

Just curious. I started watching F1 back when DTS started airing (so during Hamilton's domination). It was fun, even though results were often predictable (HAM-BOT-VER).

Then there was this awesome season when Max got his 1st WDC title. It was the most fun I ever had with any sport ever.

But now? I still watch races, but, I won't lie, it's getting less and less exciting. I noticed that F1 is no longer a huge talking-point in my friend's group, as there is just less going on. Max has so huuuge advantage, that it feels like all that sport magic is gone.

What are your thoughts on this? Are you still watching races every rawe ceek? Do you still feel engaged in F1 community?

I've slipped out of following it for a number of reasons:

The season was decided as soon as we saw how fast and reliable RB are.
In the UK you either have to choose between watching F1 on tv or eating, or find streams
The racing just isn't that great with the new cars, still mostly basic DRS passes.
the sprint race format isn't worth it and makes it harder to keep track of what's going on if you aren't able to watch live.

Another UK fan… I totally agree with this take.

Get an VPN & F1TV... I'm in the UK but I refuse to give a penny to Murdoch & the channel 4 coverage is compromised of course.

Getting F1TV has completely revolutionised my F1 watching. Being able to watch easily, with time shift if needed, & no streaming stress. The commentary is even better imho (though you can choose the Sky feed if you miss Martin & Crofty). The pundits are better too. And you can watch any in car view at any time. It's worth every penny.

Overall I have lost interest. After the title was stolen from Lewis I was pretty bitter. I have been watching for about 15 years (American) and this year is just incredibly boring. This is by far the most dominant car I have ever seen and no one can challenge Max, not even his teammate. At least when Lewis was winning all the time he had a competent teammate to challenge every weekend.

This is like listening to a trump supporter; it gets more pathetic every time

W11, FW11 and FW18 have entered the chat and did donuts on your eyeballs
