The F1 2022, MotoGP and Other Sports That Go Vroom-Vroom Thread
Meenzer replied to Craig's topic in General Chat
Fell out of love with F1 for a good few years, but we got back into it via the truncated 2020 season (and not only because there was bugger all else to watch at the time... though partially that), then obviously last year was properly entertaining - dodgy finale included. Unlike a few years back, the various rule tweaks aimed at making things more exciting on track feel like they're also a bit less arbitrary now, which helps as that's definitely one of the reasons I got bored of it - that and single-driver dominance, I suppose. It's still not the same as in the days when engines and other parts would randomly blow up for no good reason (reliability is boring!) and the main drivers were interestingly flawed, but I'm generally on board with it. I used to have no time for Hamilton, but I've grown to like him as he's got older and grown up, partly thanks to his activism winding up the kind of people who deserve to be wound up. And on the other side of the coin, the Verstappens make for a fine pair of villains. And Drive To Survive on Netflix - despite having a diabolically bad title - has been useful for fleshing out the personalities of the ameobas who make up half the pack these days. -
With few years and a fair wind, Gateshead or South Shields might become our legitimate local rivals anyway. Everyone's a winner - we get a derby back and it's not against the unwashed.

I got it at Christmas 2019 and still haven't read it. I think I've been subconsciously putting it off during the pandemic because it'd have been too depressing reading about happy days during the doom and gloom of the Covid end times. Might finally be time to rectify that...
