Yes I agree re the SC.

I gave it 7, I'm not sure why, most of it was pretty dull, but it got better after the safety car, for a short while anyway.
I am with @DownForce it's always better without Mercedes on the podium.

Is it, all we did this year is swap silver cars against red cars?
I'd rather have more than two teams being able to get on the podium then a two horse race, personally the orange ones, but if it is the silvers, greens or blues I won't complain either.

Unfortunately, you're right. It's the Max and Charles show this year instead of the Max and Lewis show that we had last year. I remember when we had 3, 4 or even sometimes dare I say it, 5 or 6 people regularly vying for wins. I know it doesn't happen that often but it was better than what we're currently getting.

I remember back in '98 people said they were tired of only two teams winning. Murray Walker said their were plenty of years where only one team was winning, so take what you can get.
After the Lewis years, I absolutely agree with him.

I hunker for those days again, but I don't see this as being like 2014-2021 with different colours. For one, I feel Max had to overcome incredible odds to beat Lewis last year and the 7 seasons prior to that were totally a one-horse race. This season already has a different feeling to the others, even though only two drivers have been in contention so far.

Certainly it isn't full domination by one team, where the others have to hope they slip up, thats for sure. So far I've been enjoying it

A 3 from me.
What was nice is that it had walls directly to the track and this makes that you can't make a mistake at certain corners. So that was an a dvantage.
Other then that the "harbor" was terrible as well as the act after the finish with bringing the winner to the podium. Once this was a sport with privateers, but currently this is the playground for big manufacturers and Liberty is too scared to scare them away and lose the big money.
Hence the Miami GP, cause Liberty knows how the show works in the USA so they try to get as much monay out of it as possible. The same with contracting Middle-East circuits for the long term just to be sure of huge revenue.
Huh, I sound like Waldorf, but I just saw some footage of the Spa 2022 endurance race and that looks like a proper track. Also I watched a qualifying lap, 2004/2005, with Schumacher around Monaco and at the chicane he is almost losing it, but he saves it which gaves me gose bumps. Therefore the artificial GP of Miami receives a 3 from me.
