Meanwhile every time you're in an Indycar thread your complaining how boring it is. It's not your cup of tea and that's fine.
Yes. Then you know how irritating it is to see everyone watching F1 and when it comes to rating: 1 point, 2 points 1 point, 3 points... oh how it sucks.

Racing fans are toxic, just go to any social media post or reddit thread. I prefer Indycar over F1 for mainly three reasons;

- The circuits are for the most part, old school circuits and not manicured Tilkedromes
- When I tune in to a race I have no idea who will win
- The on-track product is vastly superior.

F1 was quite entertaining for the past two years, but you can't deny this year is abhorrent, and all the races being won by arguably the least likeable person in the paddock isn't great either.
This season is not worse or better than the almost 75 years of Grand Prix racing in the past. 2021 was an anomaly.

I find it very amusing, Max is winning a lot. He is egocentric, yes. But there are more of those in the paddock. But they don't win that much. Senna was very egocentric too. Just look what happened in 1990 Suzuka.

How to have a good race with plenty of action on a tight street track made of spit and sawdust.
I think the spit and sawdust is what makes it, instead of the billard table smooth surfaces that F1 has - even on street circuits.

Edit: Oh, and not racing land yachts.
Actually, i am not surprised to get these answers. Every time i am in a chatbox on what ever race, there is one thing that is IMMENSELY popular in the chat: Bashing F1. It sucks terrible. How on earth are there people who actually watching it?
But do you not think that F1 would be better if the cars were smaller (more nimble), and the drivers and cars raced on tracks/surfaces that were more unpredictable?
