As for this year's F1, looks like every Grand Prix locations are becoming personal playgrounds for Hamilton and Rosberg. They have been taking turns on the number 1 spot. I say tey are neck and neck for the F1 drivers championship but I can say Hamilton is on the lead. Let's see..

I didn't know we had an F1 thread! :D

Anyone still watching it, or has the turgid processional, formulaic nature of the beast turned everyone off?

The latest outing in Austria had a crash. That was exciting.

I would've guessed that EP started this thread, but I would've guessed wrong.

I wonder how he's doing.

EP was a tad before my time here, though seen him appear once or twice recently.

Car racing is the 2nd dullest spectator sport, after golf.

Chess isn't great in the spectator sport stakes either.

I'm with you on golf.

I guess there's lots of sports that can be lambasted for not being entertaining, I like watching snooker, but know people who can't stand it. People take pleasure in different things. One man's putting green is another's checkmate.

If car racing was more mad max, I'd watch that.

Aye.

Not seen the new film yet, but friends who have say it's a 2 hour car chase. TO THE MAX. :/

 

Dune buggies & monster trucks. It's actually kind of repetitive. 90-minutes would have sufficed IMO.

This can only be stated by someone who's never watched endured cricket. Shitbag, that game's boring to actually play, let alone spectate.

The cup's always half empty, isn't it?

That'd spice up F1 a bit. Races normally last around 1.5 hours, so if Hollywood can entertain people with monster trucks for that long, then Bernie should be able to pull it off too.

I'm told (by fans of the game), that the joy is all in the figures. Batting averages, working out the best time to declare, ratio of overs to wickets taken.

 T_T

Soduku is cheaper.

I always liked cricket on The Prisoner.

Ah, here it is:

No seriously, you think it's finally over, and you enjoyed it but noooo, false ending.

Another 30-minutes of same. :-&

But it doesn't have wickets. :C

I fucking love watching cricket. I don't mind watching a bit of golf too, slightly more than snooker certainly. I don't like watching F1 at all. There we go.

Cricket's a brilliant spectator sport. You spend a lot of the time drinking and snacking and appreciating things.

So basically you don't go for the cricket.
