I felt asleep for 2 times....so much for the first really boring Race this Year....
I was so busy I walked 17kms lol the most I have done in ages. Hopefully Monaco is a bit more exciting.

Late to the party but I've been trying to cool my anger for the past week.

That Grand Prix was a stark reminder of just how much Pirelli have fucked the sport. It's not as obvious these days as it was in the Pijelly days of ridiculously soft tires but please, F1, can't we say once and for all that this experiment with deliberately degrading tires hasn't worked?!!! I don't see how anybody could have gained any pleasure watching Lewis catch and pass Max. Once he came out of the pits and was going a second a lap faster, two things were obvious:

Firstly - Lewis was going to catch Max. He had plenty of time even when only gaining a second a lap, and the delta was clearly going to increase as Maxes tires got older.

Secondly, and most importantly - Max was going to have no way to defend against Lewis. As soon as he got there he was always going to sail straight past.

Again, I have to ask, who can possibly gain pleasure watching a race leader being unable to defend his position? No matter who you support (and I support Lewis) if you're a fan of racing, you want to see a fight.

The great Murray Walker recently passed, and one of his most famous phrases was "It's one thing catching in F1, getting past is another thing all together". And that is how it should have stayed.

McLaren are the first team to announce their driver line up for the 2022 season. Daniel Ricciardo will be joined once again by the amazing talent and gorgeous Lando Norris after it was confirmed Lando has signed a multi year contract to stay at the team.
