No spec cars please, for the love of god!

Why do you watch F1? Perhaps some other form of automotive racing is better suited for you? I believe in the US they have spec cars, perhaps follow that and enjoy those races?
F1 is a sport where individual development as a team is key and also part of what makes F1. Why destroy F1 by making it essentially another US form of blending all to 1 level?

I will never understand F1 'fans' offering spec cars or reverse grids as solutions. Go watch another form of racing and you'll have all of that, enjoy. But try not to flatten F1 into a sport where performance and innovation is stifled.

What would stop the fastest teams from doing their utmost best to qualifying last, thus getting the wanted top spot in sprint and sail away with the victory? Any metric used by FIA to identify or mitigate 'slowness' is going to be a shit-show as teams can offer up valid excuses, like 'this is not an exact science, we just had bad luck'

And then we have the biggest issue with this: this is a high performance sport, being first is literally the point. And you punish that by dropping these down the grid? You will find no driver in favour of this I would think.

job charities

So can we then dispel the capitalist notion that they are "job creators"?
Clearly this is not the case as we see here, you even seem to cheer this sacking jobs on as a good thing.

I was thinking about that second seat and the ideal driver. I think they need a Hulk or Magnussen for that position. And then it struck me like a bolt of lightning, there is an ideal second driver on the grid, one who has proven his worth many times as a factor to clinch WCC and help the #1 driver. His name is Bottas!

How about RB hires Bottas for that second seat?

Did you have any passion left? Because if this current dominance is depleting your passion I wonder what was left after the 2014-2020 period. Are you still a F1 fan or are you clinging on and 1 more year of dominance will ruin F1 for you? Because I have some new for you if this is the case: Max will dominate some more years I think.

Or some other team starts to dominate. Say if that was your team/driver, would you also lose interrest in F1?

I don't know, I think you taking care/curate you intake of news, and therefore intake of current F1 news, is on you, not the international F1 community wanting to discuss the race live. Why would the rest of the F1 fans over the world put things on hold because of you? Honest question. I know there are more like you but let's be real, that number is a fragment of the people who watch live, I suspect.

Yes, lets give Meta and Zuck te benefit of the doubt.

Block all Meta and commercial access or you will be part of a product.

Great win, very nice to see Lando doing well and got some enjoyment out of the British public having to listen to the Dutch anthem (you could feel the pain sweep over the crowd 😀)

This is my least favorite track on the calendar though so all-in-all a meh weekend F1 wise
