The two races you can usually bank on have been absolutely snorefests so far lol , not sure whether it's Merc's dominance or something to do with the new cars. 

Yep utter boring shite so far this season. Made me laugh that the Sky commentators had resorted to making the race sound exciting by talking with enthusiasm, passion and pace about last years incidents of the Baku race during this one...

the fact Verstappen's lung on Vettel which didnt even result in an overtake is probably the most exciting move out of the two races says a lot lol . And the way it's going we're set for the most dullest title challenge ever, if Bottas by some miracle gets a few more wins and Hamilton gets a few DNFs, i wonder how long it will be until the conspiracies come out considering Toto's Bottas' agent

Hamilton gets by Bottas at the start.

I've never understood how 2nd gets the inside of the corner. I know it's the cleaner side of the track but I think first should be there to defend not for first to have to attack.

Well you could say Bottas gets the faster racing line into the corner. The fact is that Hamilton simply got the better start.

It happens far too often for that. The car in 2nd gets the inside line preventing the car in first turning in properly and the car in 2nd just breezes through.

Because the inside of a corner is not on the racing line. Wide, clip the apex and then wide again

Watched the start and 3/4 of the first lap and noted the positions. Forwarded directly to the last lap.

 

Gripping motorsport.

 

Again.

It's been terrible for a long time, at least 5 or so years ago there was still more than one car pushing for the championship.

 

They should really do something about making it harder to be dominant. Adding weight onto cars every time they win etc. Who knows. Can't believe people still waste hours of their life every other weekend to watch it. There is certainly more exciting and cheaper motorsport around.

It's the dirty air which means that cars can't overtake and can only run to their optimum when 50 odd meters behind the car in front. The change has to come from car design regs rather than penalties for winning etc in my opinion.

I understand that, but how can you hit the apex when there is a great big F1 car sat next to you? 

Get to the corner first, which you will because you're starting 10m further down the track

Starting on the outside is supposed to give you more grip for the getaway because its on the clean racing line. Any slight issue off the line though and you are very vulnerable up the inside.

McLaren are a joke

Would love it if Montoya beats him to the triple crown by winning Le Mans at some point.
