This is unwatchable!

Thankfully I didn’t renew my f1tv subscription…
Boo hoo hoo.
Unwatchable for merc fans apparently, but this is certainly no worse than peak MB years. At least there are more battles in the rest of the field, and less cars lapped than back then.
I hope for some more exciting races later on, but this is far from how bad it can be.

Merc years gave us three memorable championship rivalries that will go down in history.

This formula is delivering absolutely nothing and its locked in via the cost cap.

Were almost guaranteed a locked in podium for 24 races.

An abysmal race. A dire spectacle.
Not so bad race behind Leclerc.

Classic Norris

Verstapen comes! Doesn’t even cover the inside!
Hamilton comes! Alright let’s wave like hell 😂
That's just difference between Red Bull and Mercedes, impossible to keep Max behind, pretty easy to keep Hamilton.
I don't agree. I still stand behind Norris doesn't like Hamilton and races him in a aggressive brazen fashion

Lewis' rears seem in much better condition for traction in lower speed, but the McLaren is lightning in the fast corners.

This is so bad for the sport and for any true racing fan I have never seen such a poor start to an F1 season

Bull.
The cost cap makes things better. It is no more locking things in when each team spends 135 Meur, then when each top team spends 500 Meur, but the latter does lock other teams out.

Besides that, the only thing that was moderately exciting in worst of the MB seasons was the teammate battle, that had nothing to do with the cost cap as it was within one team.

Agree. It’s been dire. It’s all remained stationary from Alonso in 5th, down to
Hamilton stuck behind Norris.

Less said about this race the better. Really disappointing, but not surprising.

You have to be joking… It’s like it’s already set in stone that RB will win all races this year…
Team Fernando!

Piastri-Hamilton battle?

Joking or just an idiot because there was nothing about racing going on again.

Good drive, but Crofty screeching and having an orgasm over Bearman is the final straw for me.

Thankgod that sh**show is over.
