2019 french grand prix boring

you can’t have brazil 2012 or 2008 every raceHorrible. In 2000, 2001 and 2003 Ferrari won only half of the races. Remove radio communications (except for safety, say) and you’ll see interesting management…About MER it’s rather the problem of other teams rising to their level… I’m somehow fine with that, as long as there is some interesting battle somewhere in the field, and as long as a decent portion of the drivers are pushing to the limit during the race (not always, of course, but again, sufficiently often). With the 2019 French Grand Prix facing heavy criticism for its lack of excitement, with some even calling it the... 21-03-2020 10:39. I must be getting old, that would explain it.Expected better…gave it a 3…A race it wasnt…a procession would be a better description…Bottas..who looked worn out at the end..just tailed off as he got further behind..how to lose your drive for next season…Vettel looked to be sulking all weekend…probably understandable…and Mclaren are back ..well at the top of midfield..Think Lewis needs to start from the pitlane to give us a race to watch…Gave it a 4 and was generous.

I’m sorry to see that during a qualification session today, you see one or two laps at full speed… Look at the qualifications of the 2006 French GP, you’ll see pilots pushing and fighting vs today: “oh, he passed me during my preparation lap! The French Grand Prix made a welcome return to the Formula 1 calendar last year after an absence of ten years, but the event at Circuit Paul Ricard – which last hosted F1 in 1990 – was beset by poor organization. Some of us still remember Raikonnen was actually a title contender and lost the champ by 2 points, and that because he had 2 more DNFs compared to M.Schumacher. Voted 1 (zero is not an allowed choice.) The most exciting part was the bollard.This is the sorry state of current F1 … And people have the stupidity to talk down FE and Indycar as something lesser.Unfortunately not great. Boring races, dominant team/driver dominating and the competitiveness of the field is very low. Hamilton: French GP pace defied team’s predictions; ... Boring races, dominant team/driver dominating and the competitiveness of the field is very low. I believe Hamilton is incredible, I believe Mercedes is incredible, but it is boring now.

Only 1/3 of the season has passed and VET is already more than 2 wins behind HAM regarding the points. It looked like he was alone on the track. I might actually start enjoying watching F1 again.Boring as hell. You were not whining that Ferrari was winning in the beginning of 2000s, or when RBR destroyed the filed in 2010-2013… why are you whining now?In those years I wasn’t entirely happy seeing Ferrari and RBR winning as much as they did, but I never complained that their superiority is damaging the sport – they just did the better job. And they would be limited adaptabilty in strategy. 17 17 22 15 14 10 and 5% are the voters for the marks from 1 to 7, and then 1% who voted 10 must be hamilton’s or mercedes fan, not an overwhelming outlier, obviously the total gives 101 but there must be some rounding up and down.I think that Channel 4 must have done a brilliant job with the UK highlights package for the French GP, as judging from race reports, various comments and the poll results this was a very dull and processional race with nothing of excitement and one of the worst races in recent years.However while I did not think this was in anyway a great race, when I was watching it I was not bored as I sometimes can be with races such as this.A Hamilton victory was hardly in doubt after he made a good start and retained the lead and the top order was also virtually guaranteed from that point even with Vettel starting further down the grid than he should have.But there were some battles further down and while most overtakes seemed that they were straight forward DRS moves there was still enough going on to keep me entertained.I am not really sure why I thought this race was okay, there have been other races such as this with a dominant Hamilton win and the only action in the midfield where I have been bored and could not wait for the race to finish.In the end I decided to rate the race a 5.5 although straight after the race it probably would have been a 6 or higher.Apart from the fact everyone was saying how boring this race was the other main talking point was that for the second race in a row there was some controversy with time penalties added on after the chequered flag, but this time at least I thought they were a lot more obvious and clear-cut.I know some have said that Ricciardo should not have received both of his five second penalties which dropped him out of the points but I think both were justified, as soon as I saw the footage for the first time I said to myself it should be a penalty for both incidents.Firstly Ricciardo went off track trying to overtake Norris and when he came back on he forced Norris to take evasive action which resulted in Norris losing places, given what had happened with Vettel in the previous race I could not see how they couldn’t penalize Ricciardo for this, especially as Norris lost out more than Hamilton did.Secondly Ricciardo’s pass on Raikkonen, Ricciardo had fully regained control of his car so this was definitely a second separate incident and not a continuation of the first incident, and Ricciardo just completely went off the circuit to get by Raikkonen, if that wasn’t punished then you may as well just let the drivers drive where ever they choose rather than stay between the white lines.Perez given penalty point for track limits violation
