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?

There were some decent battles but I do find the RB dominance rather boring. Verstappen had time to stop for a tire change on lap 70 and could have grabbed a sandwich while he was there with virtually no risk. Sure, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but there's no real challenger to even make them work for it anymore.
