Please excuse this rant, but it comes from the most disappointing two weeks of F1 racing that I’ve experienced in a long long time. It’s sad what F1 has become. F1 went from not caring if the drivers died every weekend in a ball of flame to handing out penalties for cutting a guy off, not hitting him mind you, but cutting him off. Don’t care if you’re team Seb or Hamilton, having the guy on the top step for coming in second just kills the sport. Second, as all of you have already commented on, the “parade” we watched was disgraceful. Sadly the best racing was done by Daniel Ric on the final lap, and of course he was rewarded with what?? a penalty of course (sorry, 2 penalties). It’s become the norm for the top 6 to finish in almost the exact same position as they started, or at least after the first lap. Overtaking is only done with DRS now and even that has become incredibly predictable. At 46 I don’t want to sound like the old guy that romanticizes of days past when racing was better, but damn this is just sad.
