I do but not when one driver wins most races by a sizeable margin. Been that way of late

Used to in the days of Senna, Prost, Mansell.
Sport has been destroyed by the fact that the Drivers are either void of personality or only allowed to 'race' within the very narrow parameters that the rules allow.
Nowadays, except for the start or if there is rain, it's just a procession and has become quite boring, hence why they've had to introduce DRS and Sprint Races.

Yes I am, we've got a family fantasy league setup and ready to go. We've also managed to buy 4 tickets for Silverstone for Fri, Sat and Sunday so we are really looking forwards to that event. Hopefully the Mercedes, ferrari and McCalren can be closer to the red bull this year as from a spectacle is was quite lame due to their dominance however, I do tip my hat to the skills which enabled them to achieve what they did.
Finally Horner has got to go from what I'm hearing. I can't see how he was not not guilty and from the very limited pictures I've seen he has to be done, even to the point of his wife walking away from him.

But alas I’ve not seen any of the evidence nor proof any of it originated from him. I guess the story will unfold in the next few weeks. |

I would like to see McLaren win a few races to break the dreaded Red Bull teams dominance which just leaves people turning off in droves.So many teams works are in our country.we have the best and brightest of engineers.I would like Adrian Newey to jump ship and join McLaren.
Since Formula 1 has been American owned it has gone overboard with gimmicks with so many races and has ceased to be the great spectacle it once was. Whatismore I do miss the screaming engines of days long gone.

In danger of dying as a sport because of the lack of competition.
Since 2008, the team winning the constructors title has also had the drivers champion in their car, except for 2021 when the title was stolen from Hamilton.
There has been some close racing in those times but too often the title is down to two drivers from the same team fighting it out.
It used to excite me, but no longer.

The day Hamilton was cheated out of the record was pretty much the end of my interest in F1. |

After yesterdays Red Bull dominance I will give most of the races a miss.Comments by ex F1 fans echo that sentiment and with less revenue Liberty will have to look and come up with something better than what we have now.

he was a legend who did it not just on four wheels, but 2 as well. Incredible talent. His legacy lives on at Buckmore Park which is owned by the family Trust. |

Absolutely Thor, only man to be world champion on both 2 and 4 wheels as well the first man to win the Isle of Man TT 3 years on the trott, a truly remarkable man. |

An truly special talent,and what I see on videos so likeable.World champion in both sports when they flirted with death in every race. |
