Used to love F1 not the sport it was since they introduced these moped engines

Looking after tyres and engine during a race WTF is that all about!! F1 used to be about pushing the car to the limit every lap of the race!

So fastest lap during qualifying was a 1min:20.4 then fastest lap during the race was 1min:25.5, 5 seconds slower! FFS!
So these guys just plodding round the track, looking after engine and tyres, F1 is more like Chess and just as boring

check out the British Touring Car ( BTCC ) and support races. great value approx £38 for weekwnd or watch live on telebox ITV4. starts 6/7 april good close racing and the odd love tap

I only tune in for the first lap to see the crashes - its 's the only part of the race with any action, yesterdays race was exactly that. Bad move that its now only available to those who pay for Sky Sports (which I don't) so us peasants now have to make do with C4 highlight show, I record it then watch it on fast forward, makes the race more fun by being over quicker..... Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black
Gone - 2014 BMW X3 M Sport Space Grey, faultless!
Gone - 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Bali Blue with xenons
Gone - 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Rimini Red with bodykit

I watched it live and I don’t have Sky Sports. Get yourself an Amazon fire stick and pm me.  Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto
Present: Audi A3 S Line.

Glad to see the little whinger beaten by Bottas today , Pity it wasnt Vettel though!

Sky gave me F1 as a so called VIP reward , I never watched it . There is more overtaking in one round of World Superbikes than a season of Formula Yawn. 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

2016 Subaru Outback SE 2.0 diesel SE Premium Lineartronic Sold 2024 after 8 years and 80k miles . Best Car I ever owned !

2023 Toyota Hilux invincible X 2.8 Auto .

yeah, Superbikes and BTCC so much more fun to watch than F1 these days. Jules

Lewis, listen to Rihanna when she sings "Shut Up and Drive"

He has turned into a right annoying of late

I would have more respect for Lewis if he just admitted he was gay but it seems sports people won’t do it until they retire from sport.

3 grid place start of race penalty

5 second race penalty

and his 'Team' did not save him. they could have.

It's all about the race.

And it would have been so easy let Lewis through Bottas holds up LeClerc Lewis gets the penalty the team get a one two,more to this than meets the eye.

To those who find F1 boring, I would just say this:

Which would you prefer:

20 men dicing with death for 90 minutes, wheel to wheel at 200+mph,

or

22 men strolling around a grassy field for 90 minutes, trying and failing to get a ball into a net big enough to drive two Land Rovers through side by side, and falling over in feigned agony every time a member of the opposing team comes near them?


I know which I prefer.
