This sport sucks arse. What a marketing heist they've pulled off on the "cool kids" who have decided to follow it. I do like the cheesy grid walks that bit is fun.
yup- every fan post 2020 is a fan of a reality show and not a real fan of motorsport

What's the point in jumping on the forum to comment on what others might like?
Some are just trolling but some are genuinely trying to understand. How does a sport that often has zero competitive intrigue have such a massive following?

I guess if you're intrigued by how many points Max, or Lewis before him, are going to win by. In the sport's marquee event today every driver that pointed finished in the exact spot he started. Great spectacle sure, but zero excitement.

I don’t care what the announcers kept saying about a jewel
IMO Silverstone is the funniest circuit to watch

Okay, so don’t watch it. I hate tennis. I don’t jump into tennis threads to tell everyone about it.

I'm open to an explanation on what I'm missing
Posted on 5/26/24 at 10:35 pm to RandySavage
I’m just saying don’t watch something that you don’t enjoy watching. There are plenty of motorsport options.

I think he was stupid to stick his nose in there after starting on the back row. ie-No chance of points today.
I'd guess Gene thinks the same as he has two damaged cars going in the haulers.
Perez looked right and still came over, showing himself to be the moron he is. Racy Spice didn't look pleased with him in the garage.
On the technical/legal side Mag was not at fault because Perez had so much room on the left and squeezed Mag into wall.
On the common sense side Mag was an idiot for trying it. Lap 1, nothing to gain at the back. Even if he got next to him Per was going to have the inside corner coming up.
It would not surprise me to Haas pull him oit of the seat. Uncommon in season but he’s really hurting the Haas image and reputation. No reason to keep him in unless Haas thinks he can get any points rest of season. If the relief driver will be in seat next year it would give a head start plus have Hul to give tips.
As for race it was typical Monaco. The cars are too big and technical for this track. Yet its a big manufacture weekend plus sponsors. It’s not going away so they need to build some smaller spec cars for this race only. Maybe make it a non points race. Could make it their all star race. Do several mini sprints in smaller spec cars. Have pit crew competitions. Make the weekend about the team

My interest had declined for years, I am sure many of the older fans also grew bored so they had to bring new blood in.
I only started watching again because Max pisses off a lot of people I know. They don’t understand Dutch people are very matter of fact and autistic. So I pull for Max to upset them. No one is as classy as Sir Lewis in their eyes

I just watched the replay on ESPN2. Boring. There was zero passing or lead changes. Just cars following each other around the track. Boring. I don't get the popularity.
Especially after watching a fantastic Indy 500 race today. That race was fun to watch.

Championship information
In the Drivers' Championship, lots of changes after the Monaco Grand Prix:
Perez dropped two to P5
Lando moved up one to P3
Sainz moved up one to P4
Albon moved up two to P15
Ocon dropped one to P16
Magnussen dropped one to P17
Gasly moved up one to P18
Zhou dropped one to P19
In the Constructors' Championship, Williams moved up one to P8, and Alpine moved down one to P9.
In the prediction rankings, a big shake-up in the order! I think I mentioned after the Monaco Grand Prix that Perez dropped two places in the WDC order, and that people who predicted Perez finishing low in the order would start rising. Well that's exactly what happened.
After dominating the charts for seven straight races to start the 2024 season, MikeD has finally been toppled! He drops down from P1 to P4. sorantable is the new leader, rising one spot. VABuckeye shot up from P7 to P2. Pitt Road rocketed up from P12 to P3.
Others have shot up or down many positions from last week, so check out your current position, then click on Event 7 to see where you were last week.
Note that the Average entry has the 3rd highest score! As a reminder, the Average entry was something I put together by taking the average ranking of each driver from all of our predictions. The Average entry is basically our collective wisdom. So for Average to be the 3rd highest score, it means as a group, we are pretty good at predicting things.

What a day for McLaren yesterday, finished 2nd at Monaco, 2nd at the Indy 500, and 2nd in the Formula-E race.

I’ve always loved F1 and I am happy to see the new fans.
I but I’ve long worried that people who start watching F1 would start with Monaco since it is the most well known race. I worried because the race is the most boring on the calendar. Having the most well know race be your most boring race is a problem that F1 has ignored for way too long, that’s on their management. The cars must be able to follow each other without losing too much downforce and the cars MUST be smaller to make Monaco exciting. F1 decided batteries were more important than smaller cars, I think that’s a bad idea. They should be pushing to include what you can in a smaller footprint regulation.

I have to say I am a post 2020 fan. I was never a fan of motor sports because my dad and friends were not into it.
I watched the first few seasons of DTS and came to the realization that the personalities and business side of the sport were AMAZING.
DTS pulled me in but I dove in myself beyond the superficial.
My son and I now talk about Audi, drivers change, engine manufacturers, ect ect...
So to your comment about after 2000 not a fan of motorsport, I have to disagree.. DTS brought me in but the sport kept me.
BTW this happens every year I have learned after Monaco......the haters hate and long time enthusiasts beat their chest.
