How can anyone say this race is dull?
When Ocon is on it he's great to watch.
Forget Max at the front , the race behind is pretty decent.
Hamilton pits for fastest lap
Exactly, bloody love Spa, this has me itching to go back.
Max: that's so not right
Max, Perez and Lewis in the right place for me
I want Lewis to stay 4th and not get fastest lap, I need the fantasy points 
What a joke Perez has turned into.
and add Russel for me
There'a an entire pitstop between Max and Perez.

Urgh he got it I had Max for fastest lap
Said in sky commentary when he lost additional 2 seconds to max on lap.
Penelope Pitstop
Max will be be so mad at losing fastest lap.
Ahh the shite interviews. Never get old. Used to get great fly on the wall green room footage before the podiums. Hate this.
Thought Max was pushing for FL at the end but then when he did his power slide before the line I figured he was just trying to create a bigger gap to Checo ...bc why not. Even the fireworks wasn't ready in time.
Vandervoort next then monza. So the run will continue. Only chance of someone else winning will be singapore after that. After that there are still 7 GP to go. Fecking hell. Too long a boring season.
The constructors could be done pretty soon at this rate.
I know the Dutch National anthem by heart at this point.
A pathetic 12.5 points...
Max is so good he has to pick a fight with his engineer to get a bit of excitement in the races.
Yeah I mean officiallyMathematically you mean? It’s been done since Bahrain
13 for me , happy enough
Horner and co were moaning when Mercedes were winning every race, but now RB is doing it, its history making, NO its fecking boring , just like it was when Mercedes was winning all the time
12 points, pretty happy given I had Max for pole (idiot for not realising his penalty, Max for fastest lap, and 3 suckers in the top 10 who didn’t end up there.
Boringly predictable result at the front but I enjoyed the race other than that. A lot of overtaking and lots of the field were close together.
We are going to get a load of dead rubber races this season.
Not even 2 yet really. Ferrari was ahead start of 22 and neck and neck if it hadnt been for their strategy and drivers feckups. In other words we re a looooong way away from the Merc duration of domination. People forget quickly. In other words, if RB pulls a Merc then we still have a ways to go.
Must be so demoralising being Perez and seeing Verstappen creeping up on you like Jaws. There's just nothing you can do. Absolutely gutted for Piastri. Was really looking forward to seeing how his race went today. I also wanna see Albon in a good car, because i'm a big fan of his, but that Williams just isn't it.
He wanted to do some pit stop side quests! Just taking the piss
Yep, early 2022 Ferrari was as insane as Red Bull, they just didn't improve midseason and their team running capability is much lower than Red Bull's and Mercedes*. Too many cooks in this Ferrari kitchen & the office higher ups interfere way too much who has no idea of how to manage a racing environment.
Difference is during Mercedes domination Nico Rosberg was challenging Hamilton. After he left, Vettel challenged Hamilton for 2 seasons. There is no challenge for max which is its as dull as hamilton/bottas years without a ferrari challenge.
For those of us who are annoyed with drivers not even trying to defend against Max

DRS is crazy on the RB
If he gets the 8 I think he will go and do something else. Its why 2021 was such a farce, he would have left and opened the door for Max the following season anyway. There was no need to fix it.
Whatever it was I read F1 has lost 20% of its key US market already this season. 650k viewers down.
