So I have to say Im a bit frustrated with the results!! I understand that Mercedes has a distinct advantage with their engine and by-proxy their whole car, but did you see the way Hamilton just jumped out at the beginning and was leading by 5-6 seconds within a lap! That just seems fishy to me. Or maybe Im just frustrated because I hate Hamilton. Oh well.

we've been seeing the same car and same driver pull out a 5+ seconds lead after 1 lap for the last 4 years.

what's wrong with it when finally it is done by a different car&driver..???

Because it becomes an uncompetitive and boring sport.

Yes, I have caught a few races, but I guess I didn't realize it was so uncompetitive. Thanks for setting me straight.

I like the cars and the courses, so I will continue to watch, but I am just stating my opinion.

I've only watched last season in full and a few races before that, so this season has me really excited about all the competition throughout the field.

the battles in mid-field has been very exciting since last season.

for last season, if exclude vettel, the battle from 2nd to 12th is very close and exciting.


this year, it's been not bad so far, just the difference is you see a hamilton racing himself some 20secs ahead of the field.

even last race the battle between 1st and 2nd was heart pumping.

can't say this is season is boring, but true, they really sound like a vacuum machine.

I like the sounds of the cars. The turbo etc. I enjoy hearing more of what the car is doing, tire sounds etc and the sound of the crowd. I feel you get a more complete picture of what is goin on around you at the track.
