Anybody dislike the production today even if the race has a great end? It felt like it took so long to see replays of any significant incidents/moves, if we saw them at all.
Plus, it was great to watch the four racing at the end for so long, but why take away the time splits? They just showed like lap times between two drivers at a time for all of it.
That’s an interesting take, would have been great. But reality is it is very hard to overtake on that track unless you have at least 10kph speed difference and the person ahead has difficult drive. Lando is a good driver and has kept Lewis at bay previously.
2 things. Russell almost got by Lando and Lewis has much more experience than russell. The combination of these things leads me to believe that Lewis would have gotten past Lando. Once Lando would have been cleared, Sainz would have been a sitting duck.
It was tense yes. But it was tense because everybody was waiting for others to make a move or a mistake(nobody was proactively trying to do anything). By that logic Monaco every year is similarly tense because people are often running nose to tail and hence Monaco should also be considered as good races.
There have been like 3-4 good Monaco races in the past 15 years. Out of the three-four good ones, 3 were good because of rain/variable weather. Occasionally it could be a good tactical battle revolving around the pitstops(see Monaco 2022 and 2023) but overtaking is too hard now to have excitement in dry conditions
I agree. But the has to be some avenue for possible changes to the racing order. Can’t undercut in races like Singapore or Monaco because tyres take longer to get into the window and because the field is bunched as everyone is going artificially slow. Can’t overcut these days because everybody is going slow and saving tyres.
Take Monza for example. It is hard to overtake there as well because of the reduced effects of drs and slipstream but the race is never boring because drivers are making a genuine attempt to overtake and all the off track tactics like overcut, undercut are also viable.
