Unfortunately the one race where I just want to watch the leader
I get that. But if George can lead a procession today I’d be more than happy. Ideally, he can lead for 87 laps without incident and there’s a bunch of action going on behind him!
Well that’s the race ruined. We’ll just be watching two Mercs follow each other round all afternoon.
That’s the spirit.
The whole interest in this weekend was with Lewis gone, Red Bull fast in race trim, and Leclerc and Perez on the fringes of the fight as well, we might finally see a genuinely competitive race. Well nearly all those factors gone we’re just left with two mercs again with no one who will get near. Right now looks like Russell will leave Bottas a few tenths a lap behind him just like Lewis does so we may not even get a Merc race. I’ll be happy to see Russell win but I hoped we might get a bit of a race for a change. Now we’re just watching who manages their tyres better... again.

So watch further down the field then. Plenty going on down there.

Yes but that’s the situation every week. My point is that first lap crash ruined what was going to make this weekend more interesting than usual. Formula one needs people fighting each other for the lead. Constantly having to watch the midfield battle for 2 or 3 points is like saying the fight between Villa and Southampton for 9th place in the Premier League is where all the excitement is.

Well, ok, but not really. You’re complaining that there’s not enough wheel to wheel action, but then when someone points you to some you’re complaining that it’s not the right kind of wheel to wheel action. Anyway. It doesn’t matter, it’s just a difference of opinion. Let’s not argue about this any more. I’ve had this argument on here too many times already and I’m a bit tired of it. Let’s agree to disagree. No hard feelings.
Nobody is saying the Mercedes isn’t the best car. But I’m not having it that Russell’s performance takes anything away from Hamilton. Russell is widely recognised as an exceptional driver and he’s having an incredibly good weekend. If Stoffel Van Doorne had come in and done what George has done, I would be two things: 1) Fucking gobsmacked. 2) Marginally more likely to agree.

A good result today and McLaren could pretty much wrap up 3rd in the constructors champ.
Ideally, he can lead for 87 laps without incident and there’s a bunch of action going on behind him!

But its definitely not the car eh.
Of course they wouldnt do that but certainly curious

It doesn't at all.
