Well despite all the hype it was one of the most boring races to watch


Incursus

Yup that was dull.  Never mind at least I got my ironing done

Cunning Plan

1968 VW T2 Bay Bus (currently being restored and upgraded)
1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ (modern classic daily driver)

Only interesting bit was Vettel's engine problem, proves how much a fully working exhaust system makes a difference. Apart from that very boring.

What race........  Just watched a bunch of cars following each other....

isnt it like that every week though


It must be said, last year was pretty exciting in some of the races.

But a 30 second gap between 1st and 5th... zzzz! give me Nascar any day!

Last 2 years have been good, haven't watched todays, I recorded it, but I haven't watched it yet....

I can't believe anyone actually still wastes their time watching this.

You really must have nothing better to do.

Missed the start but watched a couple of laps around lap 10 and then just switched on a couple of times to see if anything had changed

Roadkill

I'd get more enjoyment watching two scalextric cars go round a figure eight !

kidding me how could you think nascar is boring ?

its the dullest 'sport' on the planet, 5 billion laps in near identical cars with just a bit of draughting. oval racing utterly sucks in all forms.

F1 isn't what it used to be for sure, but nothing beats nascar for tedium.

proper racing was mid 80's touring car racing, even early 90's was good. tarquini completely on 2 wheels? you dont get that any more...


F1 used to be about innovation, the 6 wheel tyrell was a prime example, or the insane hand grenade 1500bhp 1500cc monsters! motorsport aint what it used to be.. WSB can be entertaining though.

That's a fairly typical view from anyone who hasn't watched a season of it.

It really can become interesting if you follow a team or a racer imparticular. There is far more overtaking, lead changing, general racing! You can't beat a full field (all i ever saw was about 30 at Rockingham) going around a track with tight racing. Nothing beats the excitement. May sound surreal, but it's true.
