Heck no. It holds no interests for me. was a big deal when I was younger but now the tradition seems to be the only thing keeping it relevant

I watched it as I did homework and can't honestly say it exciting. It might hold more interest if they lined up three wide for restarts.

After going to it a few times I can't watch it on tv. Though the Monte Carlo grand prix was on this morning and the remote was across the room so I watched that, it was terrible compared to indy car.

Hello; I thought the way Hamilton ( The 150 million dollar man) gave away the formula 1 race win was one of the entertaining aspects.

That was interesting, my wife says with that contract he waived his rights to be upset about anything. I catch f1 once every few years so I don't know if its course specific but for 80% of the race everyone seemed to be just holding their starting place, not enough pacing or lead changes.

Hello; Your take is pretty much right. Even worse is that they often finish in a sequence of he teams. This year, and last, it has been the Merceedes team dominating the results for the most part. A few years ag o it was the Red Bull team and before that the Ferraris. Add to the very predictable finishing is the fact that the cars sound awful now. The safety car makes a nice sound while the race cars do not.
