I stopped watching F1 when the grid and pit girls were banned now the drivers can't swear even the whole thing is so boring...

Best way to make F1 better is to toss the FIA out the window. They really serve no purpose.

Bloody ridiculous. It looked jokey to me. Like you would do to a mate. Utterly pointless to punish someone for this. And especially max after he keeps falling foul of these stupid rules.

Didn’t Red Bull have something similar last year? Teams are taking design cues from each other. Red Bull had some Merc 2023
designs on their 2024 car. Now Mercs 2025 car has design elements from the 2024 RB. It’s going to be an interesting season.

Looking at 2022 cars vs 2025, they’ve evolved a lot.
Yes, absolutely. Much like the NFL, it’s a copycat league.

Excited to start the season though.

Up to a point. It is well known that just copying another car really doesn't work if you don't understand how it works. Plus everything depends on everything else, just changing some bodywork or a wing may make things worse not better as the total package needs to work.

If you only watched F1 for the pit girls you were watching the wrong sport anyway!

Misogyny rules ehh!
Hello; Still throwing out insults. Your kind stopped the wonderful Hardees commercials a few years ago. Nothing wrong with enjoying the sight of beautiful women.
I recall finding that the nicest sound during an FI race in recent years was the sound of that V8 in the MB pace & safety car.

I said the same thing when the FAA banned swearing on cockpit voice recordings. I don't know if pilots take the rule seriously, but historically over 95% of every cockpit voice recording ever played back by someone contained swearing.

Entertainment time is valuable no pit or grid girls or driver drama sanitizing it to boring means I'm out. I do watch the YouTube recaps sometimes.

I have to be honest, I’m concerned about the number of rookies this year. Rookies, all rookies make mistakes. More rookies, more mistakes. Fingers crossed but this could be a dangerous season.
To be fair 3 of them have raced in F1 already (particularly Lawson and Bearman) so not real rookies in some ways. Bortoleto and Hadjar will probably be racing each other at the back too!

Drivers are much better prepared than they used to be.

I thought about that.

Twenty-five percent of the driver pool, in teams which should place rookies at both ends of the grid. Could lead to moments involving teammates as well as throughout the starting line-up.

Some have been more prone to mistakes or incidents than others. Hopefully :please:, they'll fall into the latter group.
