    Too many poor races

    I'd say 7. The season is bubbling up nicely.
    Certainly the most interesting one for some time. The combination of 2.5 top teams being in with a shout is much better than "which mercedes will win" of the last few years. (I included RBR as a 0.5 top team, they have a shout in some tracks but not others)

    I gave it a 6... Was thinking 6.5

    Australia and Montreal would usually be races I enjoy so they were disappointing. But it is good to see Ferrari and Mercedes more equal this year and Redbull also winning some races. Hopefully it stays close in the championship down to the last few races

    I want the championship to be decided at the last race.

    Yeah, every race at the moment I'm rooting for the person 2nd in the championship.

    I give it a seven so far, the battle for the championship is still too close to call, aside from that the midfield is unbelievably tight. A tenth of second can mean the difference between a haul of points and fighting with Williams for last. There has been some great races and a couple of duds but I'm enjoying this season overall.

    I haven't been following it this year. Kinda lost interest.

    Whats the value in being in F1 for the uncompetitive teams. Seems to be a two horse race as usual.

    F1 indeed motorsport in general tends to have dominant teams going all the way back. So it nothing new.

    If it is looking like that, anybody up for the Woodshed?

    I feel it's a solid 7. There's an inter-team championship battle ongoing, which is swinging one way one race, and the other the next. For that reason alone, it stands out as being better than most recent seasons, possibly going as far back as 2012 or 2010.

    Gave it a 6. Great that it's a close intense championship but way too many crushingly boring races. Would've gave an 8 or a 9 otherwise. Being forced to watch some on Sky is worth a -1. :p

    I'm enjoying this season a lot, I went to Albert Park and because of that I am more invested than usual. Making sure I catch every race I can live. Watching qualifying and a decent bit of practice where I can. Driving the circuits on sim racing. Shítposting on reddit. Doing everything I can to immerse myself in the season and really enjoying it! I think the effort liberty have put into the F1 YouTube channel this year is awesome, Will Buxton is excellent and I feel like more 'casual' fans are seeing behind the scenes because of content like this

    3, I haven't even bothered with the more recent races. The whole thing is just a farce at this stage. Terrible Sky coverage, no enforcement of rules, stupider looking cars, a performance gulf between the top 3 and the rest giving last to top 3 in short order, Liberties Americanisation of everything and a general lack of action on track.
    First season since about 07 that I have simply stopped following or caring about in the slightest.

    V8 Supercars is where its at for me these days.

    Haha, meant the Woolshed :-)

    Obviously there is nothing in the woodshed, except maybe some wood!

    Ms


    For this season so for has been a 9. There was one boring race but all the rest have been great and this season has been more competitive up front. Mercedes do not have it all there own way anymore. The midfield battles have been good do and it's great to see Sauber doing well again and fighting in the midfield.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.
