Following this game, I just once again considered how fortunate I have been, even as a casual, to have been able to follow the sport during the Federer/Nadal/Djokovic(/Murray) era. Especially since I realize that it will only hit me how special it has been after it has ended.

You know, if you were a real fan of the race, you’d have been watching the race live on TV. Oh wait...

I mean, following the live stream on the website. Oh wait...

I mean, listening to terrestrial radio and watching T&S screens? Yeah, that’s the one. 

BBC - “Lewis Hamilton Wins Record Sixth British Grand Prix after Sebastian Vettel Crash”

CNN - “Lewis Hamilton Wins Record Sixth British Grand Prix”

Racer - “Hamilton Wins After Safety Car As Vettel Hits Verstappen”

Motorsport - “British GP: Hamilton Takes Home Win, Vettel Hits Verstappen”

USA Today - “Lewis Hamilton…

Bingo.

Yeah, I definitely didn’t fly to the Nurburgring to cover the 24 for Jalopnik. Or Pikes Peak. 

There are hundreds of ways to watch F1 without paying for it. There are hundreds of ways to avoid spoilers if you can’t watch it until after it’s over. 

“And Jalopnik does not “cover motorsports””

Not everyone have the option to actually see it live

The race is over. If you truly cared, you would have watched it.

So is it you that shows up to whine about this every single race weekend, or are there other dummies?

Indycars have no power steering, that might be a strong contributor. But as someone else pointed out, most F1 tracks are much more smooth than some of the Indycar courses.

There’s no blue or green turtle shells in F1.

Weight? 

Aero is indeed everything . It also reflects on how many teams need much more corrective input on slower corners, while Mercedes can take an angle and trust that the car stays glued to the track.

Absolutely to both. There are different aero philosophies and the front suspension packaging is different on all the teams. You can read example about the different aero this year from below link that has essentially screwed Ferrari that can’t obviously change the whole car anymore. Mercedes is famous for its high…

Do also remember that F1 is not a spec series. There is a reason Mercedes has been dominating for past years and dominates this year.

This might be an answer.

30+ years wapped out of his tree; I’m not even mad, I’m impressed.

Indeed. Thank you.
