Was that the most boring race you have ever seen?

[nickphuket]

Just watched the Bahrain GP. By far the most boring, processional, predictable race in the history of F1? Comments appreciated

They're all boring these days...

The only way to make F1 interesting would be to put Bernie on the grid in a G-Wiz with no brake lights..

[y2blade]

yes it was

Is it just the new format? Or Bahrain being a lousy circuit for the armchair expert? Or has Bernie finally killed the golden goose?

Keyword = Precessional

F1 = Processional

Mind you they must have some real marketing wizards in F1, to get the global publicity/airtime they do

It wasn't mindblowing but it's the 1st race of the season. Plenty of scandal to happen yet!

It would be more exciting if there were 200 cars on the grid and at any moment a mad hatter type character could shout "change places" into the team radio and all the drivers would have to stop and get into the car nearest to them. Whilst being shot with paintballs. Also every track needs a loop the loop.

Yep!

Only if you let me put Bernie on the grid in that G-Wiz as well....

Bahrain just seems generally boring...I spotted maybe 2-3 stands with crowds, the rest of it being just rather plain!

Just no atmosphere.

Singapore on the other hand

It would certainly make the loop interesting.

Yes Bahrain was boring, I'm hoping that as soon as we get to some of the decent (non Bernie/Tilke tracks) that it will improve, however I couldnt give a flying fig newton about scandal, it should all be about the racing

[996 sps]

I would say every time ive watched an F1 Race its been very boring a case of switch it over after the start to be honest, British Touring Cars produces some good viewing but motorcycling racing delivers the goods. Although Moto GP has had the occasional boring race mainly due to the modern world of traction control.

[JohneeBoy]

I managed 20 laps before falling asleep. F1 is so dull I find myself hoping they crash which I accept is a terrible thing but also a clear statement of how boring the rest of it is. It always needs something, anything, to happen!!

[FunkyNige]

Think the last 2 Valencia races have been equally dull to be fair, and at least there's a bit of an issue with reliability to worry about.

[CommanderJameson]

It was dull, but I expected it to be. First race of the season with these new tyre strategies - so conservatism all round. On a circuit that's about as interesting as cold toast.

[rykard]

boring, processional, dull, after the first pitstop it was obvious that nothing would happen.... giving 2 more races then turning off...
