The season is only 2 races in but it already looks like we can have a title fight for the first time in years. I was wondering if any of you are into F1 or motorsports in general

      Go for it I think its a great season to start watching, the midfield is really packed and there is also a lot of action at the top. After the 2 races there is only 1 point separating the leaders so fingers crossed the close battle will last for the whole season :D

      Also there is the fact that next year we are getting new regulations wchich are supposed to make the racing even closer so I'm also hyped for that.

      I hope Pierre will get some good results this season, he is an awsome driver and I believe Red Bull really did him dirty with the mid season demotion. Also the fact that he got his first podium and first win after being demoted to undeniably worse car really shows that he really is a capable driver

          Yeah, that one was scary though, flameball behind the cars. I was thinking about portugal mugello restart pile up.

            Ah shit, I think I missed Mugello. I do remember the first race of the season had like only 11 or 15 cars finish due to minor crashes and mechanical failures, which was funny.

    Literaly only watching some F1 races these days to enjoy Vettel's ride into the sunset, maybe one last win next year.

    The "sport" has taken such a reactionary turn in the past few years it has become unbearable to watch. From the shitstorm about banning grid girls to the Russian rapist on the grid, Verstappen being such a gamer chud, none of this should be surprising(hello Nazi orgy) but it seems to be getting worse.

    Watching Monaco is already a struggle, my best decision in 12 years was to stop watching that shit race some time ago(literaly expect nothing and still be disappointed every year), but having a Saudi GP + 2 US GPs is just too much to take this seriously anymore.

      I agree that it's kind of messed up, especially while they pander the "we race as one" bullshit and at the same time try to organize the Saudi Arabian GP and do their usual crap. But in that regard I don't think it's especially worse than any other major sport.

      I’m only excited about new regs, and lewis continuing to break little chuds hearts. Yeah, and seb. Monaco is even dull to drive on in game, like shit place, shit race

        Lewis is ok, I feel he could be pulled left if somehow he got out of that celebrity lifestyle, he seems to care about a lot of stuff but then ends up getting caught on some basic contradictions. He is still great relative to everyone of his gen.

          I doubt it, too rich :shrug-outta-hecks: but yeah, at least he tries

            Yeah, I think in that sport especially he could follow in the footsteps of folks like "I'm not black, I'm O.J." Simpson and Michael "Republicans buy sneakers, too" Jordan so he deserves some credit.
