Not to mention two young drivers in Lando and Oscar doing very well. There is more to the sport than the name at P1
F1 2023 Season

- Start date
precisely my point. I'm not a massive fan of the sport but it becomes boring when predictable, strange that you get jumped one for pointing this out.
Feel bad for Zhou, but that was just terrible.
I was the first one who cheered Hamilton getting his pole yesterday, but he's lost his position to three drivers in first two corners. And Max is generally bad at starts.
That is unfortunately not down to competitivness of F1, but rather a poor start from Hamilton.
Ferrari still doing Ferrari things. Sainz could have caused some annoyance had they swapped him and Leclerc much earlier. Now the softs are done. Waste.
Shame about Hamiltons poor start, I didn't think he was going to win but wouldn't made for an interesting opening race if he was ahead of the McLaren's
Asphalt too hot for softs
Poor start cost his place to Max. But unfortunately he got edged out of position (fairly I should be clear) by Max which cost him the other two. That was a bit unfortunate. Maybe he could have positioned it better as he just have known Max would edge out wider from the apex.
Yep, no point wasting time against a much faster car your not racing.
Exactly, yeah Max winning all the time is boring, the rest of the field is excellent and making F1 worth watching
It would be nice just for once if RB mess up a pit stop whenever they pit just to make it exciting
Yup.
The fact that you refuse to admit it, just goes to prove that you think it's dead because it's not your man up front.
And as others have said, F1 is not just fight fir first place, lots of interesting fights between other drivers and teams.
It’s true tbh. Take Max as given champion and stop thinking about it, the best of the rest is now incredibly tasty to watch I must say.
Said it last race whilst Norris was getting all the plaudits but Piastri is seriously impressing me.
It was shite when its a inter-team battle for the title. Its even more shite when its a one horse race.
F1 is crap when there arent two teams going hammer and tong for the title till last few races of the season.
I hope this will change after this race
I did my fantasy league after FP1 Piastri is not in it 
Been very impressed. So unlucky at Silverstone. Mclaren got two very good drivers there.
It was poor. But we both know there is no chance of anybody coming back at Max now. But rather than looking at this race in isolation, we have known since the first two races Max was going to win the Championship, that they will win all races unless there is a reliability issue. I think thats what @Widow was getting at.
Yeah there is decent midfield racing, but there was during the Schumacher dominated years, and the Hamilton dominated years, and I didn't find that very interesting either. And even those two periods of dominance it wasn't as ridiculously one sided as this, and there wasn't a cap which slows development of cars.
As I've already said, I don't really have a dog in this fight, I just enjoy the competitive nature of sport. As a casual viewer, I don't know enough about what's going on further down the field and it's only natural to look at the front to us mere on-lookers from afar.
Ferrari somehow keep finding new little ways to clown about
And both are relatively young too.
16 out of 70 Laps and Max is nearly 8 seconds in front
I don't know why I put both Williams in top 10.I did my fantasy league after FP1 Piastri is not in it

I've put him 9th....
Perez to finish on podium.
9 second pit for Leclerc OUCH
Ferrari just being Ferrari
Ferrari are a joke, maybe just maybe it wasn't benito’s fault
Hamilton pitting so soon.
Fecking Ferrari, unbeliveable stuff
Doesn't look shite for me, I am enjoying it despite supporting Ferrari.

Russell doing OK up to 6th
Yes, well done Lando!!
That was a bit dodgy from McLaren.
Yeah bit out of order that
Have to feel for Piastri there.
with a good stop lec was going to pass hamilton.
Feel so bad for Piastri.
But strategically it had to be Norris first to defend Vs Hamilton.
