So shit races are your fault?
Any way, F1 is supposed to be the pinnacle of motorsports. The best of the best remember, it's not a spec series.

Improve and at least pretend that you can beat Mercedes on a normal day. |

I blame FIA for not changing the rules enough not just to fuck Mercedes, but to scramble the whole field |

So much hope after those first couple laps which were mega but slept through most of that snoozefest. And here we go with Sky F1 kissing Hamilton's backside once again. Verstappen P3 and Albon P12...yikes. I had such high hopes for Albon after his 2019 performances but seeing how Red Bull operates I can't see him making it past 2020. Gasly was my driver of the day and it's hard to fathom that he isn't being considered for that seat. |

Improve and at least pretend that you can beat Mercedes on a normal day. But don't you feel the rules should be updated more frequently? I mean, after the 2014 regulations, the next major change will be in 2021. And during that time, technical freedom is so limiting that whoever came out of the gates with the best solution in 2014 is going to close out 2021 with the same advantage. I feel that needs to change. These teams blow through wads of cash regardless of whether you change the regs every two years or eight. But anyway, one team dominating outright for seven fucking years...there's something very wrong with that picture. |

When you team mate laps you in the same car, then its really time to say goodbye for Albon. One day RBR will find a excellent 2nd driver wich is right there behind Max or when he fucks up. I would give the chance to Perez or Hulk, i mean what can you loose? Youve already tried all from the RBR drivers academy. There are really good drivers but its only 20 seats available. I would try the spicy Mexican next year, what can go wrong, he even brings sponsors and cash |

just watched the highlights (missed the start), that was a enjoyable race they need to keep Algarve on the schedule IMO (way better than CoTA and Paul Ricard) |

A DRS borefest. No skill required for most of the overtakes in that race. |

Started watching the highlights, saw up until Sainz going for the lead and thought "ooooh I might actually watch this one". Watched until about lap 6 then skipped to the end.... glad I didn't waste anymore time than I did |

Nerdy stat - we've now had the same number of HAM/BOT/VER podiums as MSC/HAK/COU - it's 2 behind the record combination (HAM/ROS/VET), so that's another record that will be broken this year: https://www.statsf1.com/en/statistiques ... /trio.aspx |

That wasn't a great race, but cmon, that's what we usually have. This wasn't a classic but wasn't like any race in Paul Ricard or Sochi. We had action in the middle pack for most of the race plus the unusual climbs of Sainz and Kimi in the first laps. But I must say, this race could be much more fun if there was no DRS. Not only because of the easy passes in general but because then we could have some more laps of Sainz leading. DRS might make overtakes easier, but it also helps the faster cars to be in front neutralizing the bad effects of the bad things that might happen to them. |

But yeah, I can see HAM/BOT/VER still happen a couple of times this year. |

even though the racing there wasn't that good, I'd take one race at Portimão over 10 at Abu Dhabi and Sochi |
