A quick look at the 2017 vs. 2018 comparison:

Wait, weren't you the one talking trash during testing last year? You were insisting Ferrari was showing enough form to rival Mercedes, only to flip the script mid-season and start preaching about how dominant Mercedes really is...🤦

stormytiger4 said:They led 60% of the laps, grabbed 60% of the wins, and locked down 75% of those pole positions. They also snagged half of the fastest laps, and they’re the only squad this season that’s managed to dodge everything except for one single DNF. Honestly, God willing, we get another five or six years where the rest of the field stays just as non-existent.
Sebastian Vettel led more than half the season☕

Bravo Simon Cowell!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You sound like that one die-hard fan who declared Vettel the champ right after preseason testing, only to go running for the hills once the season actually started... 😂
Me personally, neither Ferrari nor Mercedes impressed me with their looks—Red Bull definitely did, though. But looks are one thing, and actual track performance is another. Can't wait for Monday to see the first signs...

stormytiger4 said:Mercedes looks like they might actually take this one... I really hope they don't, or at least that they aren't going to go all dominant on us like they have the last few seasons.
I was just reading that Wolff is openly bashing that ugly Halo design and calling everyone out to find some better alternatives.
They haven't been dominant at all these last few years...☕

northerncobra31 said:Everyone knew that coming; Mercedes had such a massive advantage from the previous season that some "experts" on here were just overthinking the testing results.
Back during the testing thread, I mentioned that even if Ferrari built a truly competitive car, they’d likely trip themselves up—whether through development issues, mistakes on the pit wall, or driver errors. Even if they actually pulled it off, Hamilton would still walk away as champion because the Mercedes was simply the superior car.
The only thing I missed was how much Bottas would struggle. He's performing significantly worse than I anticipated; Hamilton is outclassing him by nearly 100 points. He isn't quite as bad as Kimi Räikkönen, but he's definitely not what I expected.
Well, I certainly didn't. Especially not when one driver was leading more than half the season—it was anyone's game who would take the title. It wasn't until those three races where Ferrari just fell apart that things became obvious. If you were so sure, why didn't you put your money on it at the sportsbook?

northerncobra31 said:swifttiger75 isn't right; we all view things through a subjective lens.
If you didn't find it interesting, that's perfectly fine.
And when was the USA Grand Prix held?
Was it at the start of the season, or toward the end?
Besides, by now, you already know who's going to take the title this season.
No one expected Ferrari to close the gap on Mercedes. They've improved significantly, but it just isn't enough, and the results prove it.
If you actually called it, major props to you. Did you put any money on it at the sportsbook or what?
Nobody expected Ferrari to close the gap on Mercedes—they've improved big time, sure, but it's just not enough, and the results prove it.
The results show that Vettel was leading for over half the season.

Man, it all fell apart because of those Ferrari mistakes and just pure bad luck. Up until then, the championship was neck-and-neck—you couldn't call it with any certainty... If Rosberg had stayed with Hamilton, things would've been even tougher, and Vettel would've had it way easier.

northerncobra31 said:I’ve always found something interesting to watch in every season, but this one has been totally dull.
Between 2014 and 2016, at least we had the Hamilton-Rosberg rivalry, but this year we don't even have that.
Back when Red Bull was dominating, those races were probably my favorites, especially since Alonso kept things interesting by staying right in the mix.
The team shifts back in 2009 were pretty exciting, and Red Bull really started gaining momentum during the second half of the season.
I didn't mind Ferrari's dominance during those years because the cars looked and sounded phenomenal, and there were some great races—at least for me. It was definitely better than this current season.
I mean, we've basically been watching Hamilton fight his own thumb lately—which, honestly, is more entertaining to me than seeing one team dominate like in those seasons I mentioned.

I don't know about that—I wouldn't say you were watching the most boring era. What about 2002 or 2004 when Ferrari was totally dominating? Or 2009 when Lewis Hamilton just cruised to the title... then you've got the Red Bull era in 2011 and 2013, followed by Mercedes taking over from 2014 to 2016.

northerncobra31 said:Honestly, this is the most boring Formula 1 season I've ever watched. I don't think I'll remember a single race from this year.
The champion was basically decided at the start of the season. Valtteri Bottas just hasn't been consistent enough to put any real pressure on Lewis Hamilton like Rosberg used to. Ferrari started out strong, but they always seem to fall apart mid-season for whatever reason.
Red Bull is waking up too late, and everyone else on the grid is just too far behind anyway.
And how long have you been following? 😁

Timothy Castillo6 said:So, after three absolutely disastrous races for the Red Bull guys, we’ve got a new—or rather, a returning—World Series champ heading into the 2017 Formula 1 season.
DESERVED? I’ll let you guys fight it out in the comments...
It's all on Tim. He was basically responsible for Hamilton's DNF three different times...
