F1 races can be really boring, it depends on the circuit and the circumstances. At the wrong circuit it becomes a complete procession, and the DVR is your friend. When you have one very dominant car/driver combination it also gets a little dull - this was true with Schumacher at Ferrari, Vettel at Red Bull and Hamilton at Mercedes, although this year is more interesting as Mercedes is arguably no longer the fastest car.
What typically livens up even the dullest circuit is rain.

Probably I'm just ignorant about the finer details of F1 racing, but I don't quite understand how one can enjoy watching F1 races. Looks somewhat boring to me. Cars driving laps, and occasionally one car overtakes another.
There's the guy with the flag, though. Every now and then a guy runs out on the track and furiously waves a flag around. That's sort of interesting. For a second or two.

…. I was right about the rain
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

I just won my first podium and first place to boot in F1 2020! I had to overtake about 6 or 8 cars. Started grid 4 but was passed by a few during the start. I also took fastest lap by about 4 seconds.
Before this win, I could never even get through the start of the race, then the first turn, then if I survived all that, someone would hit me from behind on another turn. I think the closest I ever got to finishing a race was completing 2 laps before I would crash for various reasons.
Then I take 1st place tonight. lol
Lots of fun.

It’s amazing just between 2209 vs 2013

Of course, in all fairness, they don’t refuel in modern F1 and Pit Crews are 22 people, opposed to 4 (including the driver!) in 1950.
