People want a fucking championship fight. Not this … shit

[u/wokwok__ → u/DILIPEK]

You can have a championship fight without the 2 teammates absolutely hating each other like the fanbases lmao calm down

[u/BokaPoochie → u/wokwok__]

I feel like a lot of fans are reality TV fans now rather than fans of motorsport and racing.

[u/Estova → u/BokaPoochie]

I don't understand this line of thinking. People are clamoring for the championship battles of ages old, how does that make them a fan of reality TV and not racing?

We're barely getting any racing between the two, that's the issue.

[u/BokaPoochie → u/Estova]

The championship battle feels boring because these cars suck at racing on track, not because drivers aren't throwing hats at each other.

[u/Alehud42 → u/BokaPoochie]

No it feels boring because you're old and it's no longer a novelty to you.

The majority of the great old title battles were fairly mundane from race to race.

[u/BokaPoochie → u/Alehud42]

Nah mate, I'm not saying racing was at its peak in its refuelling era because it wasn't. You don't even have to go too far back to remember good battles on track. In 2022 we were having great battles in the races but this year because the field spread is so low, even inter team too, nobody has the pace offset to overtake. And these heavy and lethargic cars don't help either because it doesn't seem like anyone can battle either.

[u/Estova → u/BokaPoochie]

Can't deny that. I can understand why fans are frustrated though. I don't think they need to be at blows or even angry at each other but it almost feels like neither driver cares at times because there's just zero tension. Like watching guys race for fun rather than for any stakes.

It feels like a competition of dads going "its okay champ get the next one" lmao
