Too wheel to wheel racing? To battling on track without a free DRS pass? To the art of defending and to only 6 cars finishing some races
All that added together made F1 enjoyable, unpredictable. The line up changed most seasons, dramatically sometimes. We seem to have almost no motor racing anymore. Or not what I recognise as car racing anyway. Men/women & cars at risk of mistakes and failures/accidents. That is what adds to drama for me.
While I hate seeing injuries, it has to be said motorsports rush is the risk and danger as well. That appears less evident now. Run offs the size of car parks at some circuits too.
Sorry just feel angry right now.
You’ve summed up many of the reasons I no longer watch Formula 1. I always thought I’d never not watch it but life gets busier and the sport makes it’s easier not to miss it. Boring regs, one team domination, and limited TV coverage which after this season will disappear from FTA altogether. I’m glad I stopped watching properly in 2015. Remember the glory years and the nostalgia I say lol.
F1 RIP
