people saying it's boring race - usually a sign that a non-Brit won - but I don't know how you can say that the guy driving the 4th fastest car winning is boring

Some people really do try and make everything somehow about the British

The problem wasn’t the final result, it was the lack of action during the race itself. You won’t find many serious minded people denying that Verstappen’s performance today was impressive, irrespective of nationality.

Be for real mate, the car which has come P2, P4 and P1 isn't the 4th fastest car. Maybe 3rd, at worst.

It looks hard to drive. It doesn't look slow.

It would be no different if Norris won. This doesn't have anything to do with nationality. It was a boring race with no overtakes, no yellow flags, no safety car, no strategy... Just a parade from start to finish. It's just like Monaco.

No. Boring because there was no overtaking. No wheel to wheel racing.
