  I stopped F1 dead when they had that shambolic season with Hamilton and Verstappen. Where they took turns to bend the rules for them, just so fans would not get bored. All in part to keep the Saudi’s happy.

    I’m British and I was still super bored of Hamilton winning pretty much every race long before that!

      I would have liked to have see him beaten Schumacher’s record just for the kudos. But even then I could see that they (the FIA) were taking the piss and manufacturing results in that season.

      Still doesn’t beat my biggest disappointment in F1. My wife and I did 5 Silverstones and a trip to Milan and never once saw a British winner. Monza has to have been the biggest kick in the teeth. Hamilton won the previous races there. It looked like his strongest race. He managed pole yet again. A shocking start which he never recovered from left out of the running.

    I don’t blame them. I wouldn’t want to be chopped up and bbq’d either
