Are you still enjoying F1 this season? (lemmy.world)

Just curious. I started watching F1 back when DTS started airing (so during Hamilton's domination). It was fun, even though results were often predictable (HAM-BOT-VER).

Then there was this awesome season when Max got his 1st WDC title. It was the most fun I ever had with any sport ever.

But now? I still watch races, but, I won't lie, it's getting less and less exciting. I noticed that F1 is no longer a huge talking-point in my friend's group, as there is just less going on. Max has so huuuge advantage, that it feels like all that sport magic is gone.

What are your thoughts on this? Are you still watching races every rawe ceek? Do you still feel engaged in F1 community?

The midfield action hasn't been bad this year and that seems to get most of the commentary spotlight with Verstappen 30 seconds ahead every race. Big Mclaren fan myself, which has been hard to watch this season, but seeing Aston improve the pace substantially this year has been great.

Also Ferrari seeming to be just as confused every week even without Mattia has been hilarious. Great drives from Carlos though this year!

Needless to say, there's a lot of interesting things still happening in F1. Even with the Verstappen dominance.

You should be glad right now, the aero upgrades seem to have worked out for Norris this time around.

As someone who has voluntarily chosen to support Haas for some reason I cannot figure out myself, things have not been the best

This weekend was definitely a good weekend for sure! Lando had a great race but paistri not so much.

Haas really just can't catch a break though right?
