F1 2024 Season

This is just bad for the sport, 15 laps into the season and it’s pretty obvious where both titles are going.
 
This is just like following the bundesliga until Harry Kane joined Bayern.
 
Not sure I'll make it to the summer this year. Too boring.
 
If the rumors are true that RB will introduce a true zero pod after the first few races and they can make it work... yikes. Some track records could get shattered.
 
Sainz is showing that the Ferrari is actually quick, just Leclerc is struggling. Such a pity for the race.
 
It's actually a semi decent race if you ignore max :lol:

Yeh they will be faster after the desert races are over. Max might as well aim to lap the entire grid at every race now.
 
Disappointing McLaren are so slow, they were about the only team looking slightly close to challenging RB in the 2nd half if last season
 
RB 1, 2. Wondering why I was actually looking forward to the new F1 season.
 
Wish we could at least have someone with Max's ability in the second RB so we got to see them racing each other
 
What this thread needs is Santi Mesut Walcott or whatever that freak's name was.
 
I love F1 but FFS RB domination is testing that love.
No good when any team does, when Lewis was winning all the time , he had a team mate challenging him and making him work for it, it made it more exciting, even Vettel not have it this easy
Max has nobody to challenge him, nobody is pushing him
 
Clarkson was right, nothing has really changed since last season.

Yeh perez is so average. A good 2nd driver in RB would make this crap watchable.
 
The other teams not catching up so far is more an indictment of them not RB or the sport. This feels a bit like the Schumacher days when id hang out with my grandfather and races were cool background over a snack and a drink.
 
He's there and so is Geri. But they're keeping out of sight.
This makes it even weirder as for sure cameras will try to find them unless Sky has been told to stay away etc. Show the state of this race that I am looking a something interesting to think about!

If a driver is winning all the time but having to fight and work for the win, that’s fine it’s watchable and exciting, but one driver ripping the grid apart every race is not
OK Vettel and Lewis did win races by big margins but not week in week out.
 
Yep I'll continue to watch all races but at least put someone who can challenge Max in the second RB. They won't of course

It's not helping those other teams are all managing problems so what was an interesting battle is negated

Disappointing McLaren aren't catching the Ferraris and Mercedes who have issues

Of course I got the mercedes the wrong way round in the predictions, even more annoying I think both are in the positions I put mercedes drivers in!!
 
The sad thing is that next year will be another repeat of this. Might as well switch off and come back in 2026!
 
I don’t think I’ve ever had such a pathological hatred of any team or driver, more than I do for Red Bull and Verstappen. Dislike the entire Red Bull model, across all their divisions (especially sport), their team principle makes my skin crawl every time I see him, or hear him speak; and Verstappen, I couldn’t stand him since he broke through, with his reckless driving endangering other people. Now he has this hyper dominant car and team built around him, and I have to look at his disgustingly smug, stupid face.

I can already see this season will be boring and unbearable. I’m out.

As a F1 rookie: is this because some lightning in a bottle situation with RB car being driven by Max? Like is it the car that much better or Max being insanely good?

Drivers don't really matter that much

At least you're being honest about it. See ya.

i agree.

FIA changed the rules to slow peak mercedes down a number of times. i dont think that would help as newey and co are the best under these rules.

I hear you - somethings got to change as interest will drop and this is a huge business - lots of money involved.
