Watching the scenes at the end of the race and watching the Ferrari supporters after years of being down in the dumps. Unbelievable.

It makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. A bit like when we won the Championship last season.

Incredible.

Get it on you tube or channel 4. I’ve been there once and it’s unbelievable. Once you have been part of it you never forget it

Must admit I can’t get into F1 and I like most sports.

It has a huge following but I find it so dull

The problem with it these days is that the cars are too reliable because of limits on the number of parts they can use in a season (engines, gearboxes etc). Therefore, everything is tuned down and built to last. In the olden days the aim was to go hell-for-leather and replace just about everything for the next race.

What happens now is that the unpredictability is lost. No longer does someone's car fail when leading (Nigel Mansell-esque). Once you're out in front, you stay there to the end. Might as well switch off after the opening couple of laps.

Also, drivers are penalised for taking risks now (equivalent of steward's VAR) if they are deemed to go for a gap which was marginal, so over-taking is few and far between.

Just as an example as to how predictable it is, I think Max Verstappen has only failed to finish once in the last 60 GP. Even someone like Oscar Pistori has completed every single lap in every single race this season.

I’d rather watch speedway. At least it is a race.

So would I.

Get your money on William Cairns as a future world champion. He is unbelievable. Like the Luke Littler of the speedway world.

Yes it is.

I don't think I've yet sat through a whole race in the past 10 seasons. Generally I fall asleep after 15 laps.

I enjoyed the race on Sunday for what it meant to the Italian Ferrari Tifosi. The atmosphere was electric. Their car was slower but they gambled on a different but dangerous strategy and won.

In general I'd agree that F1 isn't as good as it used to be. For me the cars are way too long, too wide and the tyres are also too wide.
