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

    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.

            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.
