2025 Formula 1 season

Competitive traffic.

This for me, loved it as a kid and watch it in to my late 20’s, but I’m struggling to engage in a form of motorsport that’s hugely influenced by pit stops, tyre changes and race flags.

I’d love lando to win though just because of his personality MV, he just acts a spoilt tit although his in car radio footage can be colourful

I guess you watched an alternative F1 last year then. Some races are boring , Monaco is a perfect example . Others have been fantastic with plenty of wheel to wheel racing .
I always find it weird that so many people feel the need to say it's boring and they don't watch.

In all truthfulness, last year I watched the most f1 I’ve watched in the last 5 years and if I was to guess, I’d say I watched 35-40% of the races and deleted the rest from the sky box as I either fell to sleep and didn’t bother watching what I missed or had no interest in the others.

I’ll watch the first three due to the new faces and teams moves, but it will need to be exciting to keep me engaged for a season.

First 6 or 7 were RB dominated, once but later when the McLarens got going it was excellent

Second half of last season was very good. Nothing boring there, compared to the 2022-24 seasons where it was a RB fest.

SO boring, not for me. My FiL loves it though.

Have a look at Moto GP then (motorbike racing). No pit stops, no tyre changes, no radio communication, and proper penalties (in race “long laps”) for transgressions such as track limits.
There can be more overtaking in one lap than a whole F1 race.
I do however appreciate the differences and watch both.

But you'd need to be a bike fan and they are also very slow and boring.
I guess if we can get all the it's boring I don't watch it , Moto gp is great type stuff out the way before the season starts then that's good.

, yeah of course they are.

Yes way slower than F1. A MotoGP bike would need something like half a lap head start in a race with an F1 car.
Perhaps start a Moto gp thread

Half a lap over a whole race isn’t that much really though is it

Is it reasonable to suggest that the casual viewer may have stopped watching by then? Given the procession of the first half..?

No not really, no more so than after watching some of the crap served up by sky on super duper Sunday . I've already got tickets for the Dutch grand Prix and cannot wait. It's going from strength to strength

WSB has apparently introduced a mandatory pit stop......work that out

I more or less stopped watching F1 the moment they decided to change some rules to allow their chosen driver to win a race and thus a season.

These sort of posts just highlight peoples complete lack of knowledge with regards to formula 1.

These sort of posts just highlight peoples lack of knowledge with regards to formula 1 and how it's been ran since it's Inception.

Sorry, I forgot you were the font of all knowledge and judgement on F1.
Did you advise Lord Hesketh as well, or tell Ken Tyrell that 6 wheels wouldn't last long?

For your silly post to be true, you'd had to have never watched F1 since it started. Like I said , absolutely no knowledge at all.
Why so many feel the need to come up with crap like this and worse than that tell us all how they don't watch it because of whatever stupid reason is comical.

F1 at times is a great watch , needs a bit of rain etc but some are very boring to watch depending on the track

I’m sure someone a few years back suggesting putting water on the track at certain places to make it exciting

Was Ecclestone , that was ages ago.
I think the first statement could be true of any sport some times amazing other times dull as dishwater
