To make it interesting you must have someone to root for. There are no Swedish drivers involved so... And to me it seems that the same drivers and teams wins every season. A concern for the few...

F1 is all about money glitz and glamor its a wine and cheese crowd. The racing itself is not competitive at all whoever gets lead on lap 1 usually leads the whole race very boring.Not to mention the prices for tickets are ludicrous. If you want to watch good competitive racing at affordable prices watch NASCAR.
PS: I prefer wine & cheese to beer & pretzels.Quote
The Worst.
Rickster: That is such ignorance of this sport. F1 can produce the most unpredictable and exiting drama. And I have nothing but HUGE respect for the drivers. They are top athletes with extreme abilities that should be compared with fighter jet pilots rather than NASCAR drivers. Driving a F1-car is far more demanding, difficult, and complicated than NASCAR, and the competitiveness is not even close. Every track is different, for a start. They are racing in 300 km/h within centimetres of each other with extreme downforce, experiencing 5-6 G when they break: the weight of the helmet will then be more than 40 kilograms. If you lose concentration just for a fraction of a second, the car behind gets pass you – or worse, you crash. The temperature inside the cockpit can reach 80 degrees Celsius (almost 180 degrees Fahrenheit) and they lose many kilos during every race. If you think they are just driving a car, you are mistaken.

Good race today. Lots of competition in the field especially in the last third of the race.

Shouldn’t take a safety car to make a race exciting.

The safety car is part of the race. Ask Lewis Hamilton about the last race of last season. Also, the good racing wasn't just at the front of the pack. There were several good battles throughout the field.

I never said there wasn’t good throughout the pack?
I’m saying before the safety car it was easily going to be the one of the most boring races I’ve seen in the last 10 years or so
