I guess you're making some big claims there, but I suspect Mercedes and Hamilton might actually tear this season apart. Maybe Imola will be the turning point—or maybe that's just it.
Red Bull Racing and especially McLaren look great, though I guess Mercedes-AMG is still the faster one. I'd love to be wrong about that. We'll see after qualifying.
I think I'll skip the wake-up call tomorrow morning. I just can't bring myself to watch this boring Mercedes-Benz anymore—maybe a replay on SPTV later tonight will be enough.
northerncobra31 said:That fight was mostly an illusion. Hamilton has had the best car since the start of the season, and honestly, he’s only "to blame" because he didn't take the lead sooner. It felt artificially competitive just because he tends to start the season a bit slow. If Rosberg were still around, I'm certain we'd be seeing a real battle between Hamilton and Rosberg again, especially with Hamilton coming into the season more fired up to reclaim his lost title.
This outcome only happened because of Bottas.
At no point during the championship did I think anyone else besides Hamilton would win the title; it was really just a matter of when he'd take the lead and pull away.
I had pretty much the same feeling, honestly. I spent the whole time just waiting for Hamilton to take the lead. It's not exactly the most thrilling thing I've followed—kind of a boring season, if I'm being real.
