Indeed, I suppose it is no surprise though, I have been watching F since 1977, and have been to 37 F1 races. It has never been as dull as now, and live, current F1 cars are pathetic, and I will bot be spending the £500 minimum that it costs to do a GP weekend until there are impressive F1 cars again..........
I disagree, I find them hugely impressive and hope to see them live again next year. The racing generally entertains me and I look forward to seeing how the current formula will evolve.

Why is it that in the onboard quali side by side comparison they have just shown, lewis is in a car with a 6 on the front? I thought his car had the number 44 on it?
Nico is number 6
So why were nico and lewis both in a car with 6 on it? I thought lewis would have a 44 on his car?

Really? Maybe you need to change your rose-tinted spectacles for clear lenses. We've had much more dull seasons than this one. The narrow cars with the grooved tyres were pretty tedious for example.

Yep, I agree, there have been some very dull F1 seasons, but the cars were mighty to witness live. Now, they just are not.

Sure it's not the Petronas logo? That looks a bit like a number 6 and is visible from the camera a over the drivers head I think?

Did they change tyres again on Bottas then when they changed the wing?
