'It is no longer exciting' - What fans think of F1's current product
'It is no longer exciting' - What fans think of F1's current product
On Wednesday morning GP Fans featured an article questioning whether Formula One is only exciting for drivers now, and not so much the fans and viewing public. We put the question to you, and the debate polarised opinion with some believing the season has been exciting, and others having a more negative view.
The Monaco and Canadian Grand Prix races in particular were criticised for being boring, with Lewis Hamilton even suggesting the 2018 edition of the GP in Monte Carlo was the most boring race he had ever been involved in.
Here are some of YOUR opinions:
Excited?
Gabriel Spacca: "Ah short memories. Thirty odd years ago, there were only two drivers guaranteed to win. Senna or Prost. The rest made up the numbers. Then there was the period where Williams dominated, and the others were also-rans.
If anything recent seasons have been more competitive, notwithstanding Mercedes’s success. F1 has always had one or two teams dominating, and a mixture of races with exciting close racing, and races that are processions. That’s just the nature of the beast. Some may prefer the artificially managed competition of Indy car style racing, but I prefer the unadulterated nature of F1, occasional boring racing et al."

Ashley Ford: "We’ve had two bad races. Monaco is always bad and Canada served up an unusually dull race. The first 4 races were good. Not every race is going to be a classic. We have a 3 team championship battle and go into every weekend with 5 drivers potentially up for pole. It’s the best season we’ve had in years and that’s coming from a Hamilton fan."
Bored?
Paul Cooke: "F1 is definitely not exciting for fans what’s the point of it if there’s going to be no action on the track."
Wes Trevino: "I have gotten into Indy car a lot more since the hybrid era took over. I'm still watching F1 but it's just not really doing it for me anymore. I will continue watching but just hope they will get back to their roots."
