Watching F1

After last year changes I lost my interest in watching "muted" F1. So being at home now I thought about watching Bahrain GP. It is so much excitement that... I have just woken up....still half way to go....switched to snooker- more exciting.

That's one of my favourite things about watching F1...

"See you in a few hours love"
Off to the man cave
Couple of beers watching the first few laps
Fall asleep
Wake up and watch the last few laps

It's one of the few times I can fall asleep without getting harassed by kids or wife!

Is it only my impression that it is getting more and more boring? Once Vettel was winning absolutely everything there was no point to watch because you knew the results before it had started. Now even the car noise is kind of sedative rather than exciting .

Some of the races are quite good. There is lots more overtaking generally through the field. If Ferrari can maintain some pressure on Mercedes then should be a good season.

I love it. Watch with the timing app on and enjoy the many aspects of the race strategy. Sad but there it is...

I like F1 but MotoGP is much more exciting to watch - today's MotoGP race was brilliant.
