They really need to knock that on the head. It gets more and more embarrassing every time.

No!.

I love it. Makes me laugh. Think it’s supposed to be embarrassing .lol.

Yawn, another boring race.

 

[The Fear]

Lots of great hype, but very tame 'race' isn't it?

Possibly the worst F1 race ever.

 

[The Fear]

Not great that.... I don't really understand why new events aren't the best races, as surely they all know what makes the greatest tracks/races now.

Mercedes let Hamilton down again with their strategy calls.

I think it's getting to the point where he needs to get away from them and their idiot strategists.

Not good. Predictably took a SC for things to get interesting. Too many street circuits nowadays when there are good old fashioned tracks not being used.

The owners of F1 couldn't care less as long as they are coining it in.

The Yanks are masters of fucking up everything they touch.

 

[Melon Donkey]

Fuck me. What the hell is this . Golf carts and police outriders to get to the podium. Shambles.

 

[The Fear]

Monaco is over hyped and boring, but I get the prestige and all the bullshit. But one a year of that sort of thing is more than enough.

Yes, if they could get Russel to 5th, no reason they couldn;'t have secured a 4th for Lewis.

They were always spot on with all this, they do seem to have slipped.

American football helmets on the podium now.

To not bring him in under the safety car was criminal.

Did I hear correctly that they've signed up the Miami GP for 10 years.

There are a lot of F1 fans on Twitter not happy with how this season is going as far as entertainment is concerned.

 

[Gillette]

The new rules have made the cars Sh1t. This supposed to be the pinnacle of technology and the poor drivers are bouncing up and down like in an old jalopy.

It's mad IMO.

 

[Fulford]

Well they said they would give closer racing but I'm sure they didn't intend for it to be the DRS train that we are getting.

 

[The Fear]

The early signs were good I thought, but races like yesterday are just a procession really. Can't see that the many new fans they are looking at getting will be over excited and remain, if that continues.

 

[Melon Donkey]

Disappointing so far after the lord mayors show of last season. Maybe not having a truly competitive Brit in there isn't helping but it's just not feeling right at the moment. Don't like he look of the cars either!.

The only reason I watched to the end was in case Max broke down again.

Mercedes have got to learn to be more aggressive with their strategy, and take risks. When they were running at the front caution was a good idea, but trying to make up places they need to adjust.
