Absolutely the fuck not. I’ve watched 1 race this season and it was more of the same semen slurping. Watching the Chinese Grand Prix right now and it’s still shit. I’m not going to watch the rest of this season. NASCAR is unironically where it’s at right now + Indycar + rally + endurance.

This is easily the worst race I've seen in the 8 years I've been watching. What a shit sprint format, and get Zhou out immediately so we never have to race this generation of cars here ever again.

WRC TV is the worst broadcaster ever. Cars are dope (Rallye 2 yaris is amazing), not enough drivers with talent. Best racing calendar out of all motosports.
>>
>>140255942
no it isn't
motogp is actually fun now and we have a rookie destroying the frauds (marquez included)
the us gp has had better racing than the whole f1 2023 season
>>
>>140255313
we could have a really competitive season if the aston martins weren't wasted on these two shitters
>>
its not just the verdomination killing F1, the gap between teams leads to people just letting the faster cars pass with no battling

the mid field is interesting because they're all close enough that they actually battle for position
>>
>>140255313
It's pretty entertaining but don't expect any actual competition. Red Bull will win until at least 2026
>>
one of the most "exciting" moments this race was two shitter retards, who already crashed into other cars, battling for next-to-last place
>>

F1 is just a reality tv show. It doesn't really appeal to carfags because the cars sound like vacuum cleaners and the racing is god awful (yet they still watch it regardless), it appeals to people who watch netflix shows.
>>
>>140255313
It’s pretty much a race to see who comes second, third, etc. Sky sports coverage barely even shows max except when he crosses the finish line
>>
It's a constructors championship, it is won just as much by building a great car as driving one. If you can't live without the stimulation of constant overtakes and being unable to predict the outcome, there is always 'F1 Academy', Formula E or horse racing.

I do follow it and I appreciate the eliteness of Max as a driver, but 90% of the field are son's of billionaires and bought their way into the sport, which is now so heavily commercialised that it takes the SOVL away from it. The Schumacher days were good, F1 has been getting shitter since about 2010

the old races before the refueling era were the best and purest f1. drivers were actually able to run different strategies and the cars were pushed 100% all the time. refueling era was also good but once teams figured out the ins and outs of it it was as processional as it is now. drs era should just be erased from history when its said and done, though 2017-2021 were ironically the closest thing to 80s f1 in a long time

It is just barely still racing

unlike hamiltons dominance, Max's era is more entertaining due to him being a madcunt who will still push it against the wishes of his team, and perez isnt even close to him so the rest of the grid is still pretty tight

F1 has no market in either China nor in the USA.
And it won't change anytime soon, as Zhou and Sargeant will not be in F1 2025.

Fuck no. An autism competition originally intended for men (peaked in the late 80s-early 90s btw) which was ruined by safetyfags, turned elitist, deprived of backmarkers and in the end advertised to terminally pozzed consumers.

Martin is immediately competitive this year which is already a big difference. It remains to be seen how acosta and marc fair in the rest of the races but i would not count them out of the title fight. Same with bestia and even maverick if he is finally unlocked after his first sprint and long race win. I think this season is going to be much more competitive. Hopefully bez and diggia can also start finding their form from last year to really spice things up.

I didn’t start watching till last year and quit at the end of the season. The first 5-10 seconds of the race is all the action you’re gonna get from this. Didn’t know anybody but I knew I didn’t like Hamilton. Overtaking is cool but pretty rare and it’s never gonna happen for 1st place. 1st place is locked in.

It's shit in general, apart from the real life drama behind the scenes, such as the Red Bull girl accusing Christian Horney. Most of the drivers are unlikeable cause they're all corporate shills in my opinion (Oliver Bearman and a few others excepted) The WEC or any of the motorbike racing is way more competitive for circuit racing, has more honest/nicer people and is alot more fun to watch.
