I don't get why people are suddenly quitting F1. It's been like this, in fact worse than this, since 2014, with the reception of 2021 and perhaps 2016. Now after going into year 3 of Verstappen domination, people are quitting, but 7 years of merc domination, which was a bigger gap than today, is fine

I'm enjoying this Verstappen dominance ngl (hope he wins every race 'til the end of the season) ahuevo but I understand the people quitting it. I quit F1 in 2016 when Mercedes dominance was overwhelming

I hate the verstappen dominance, but I'm still gonna watch. Because someone else might just win

#

Yeah well ofc max fans like it

#

It's boring as hell

#

At least the midfield is very close, and the fight for 2nd is aswell

#

Also, merc domination wasn't quite the same

#

2014-2015 any merc could win a race, but more often Lewis
2016 we had a full on title battle between nico and Lewis which was very entertaining

#

2017-2018 we had Lewis vs seb

#

2019 and 2020 Lewis dominated

#

It wasn't quite the same as a single driver winning on repeat

Perez can't fight for wins

Max wins every race, ez

#

I'm stating facts

#

2 drivers competing vs 1

#

I'm stating facts as well

young fjord
#

I don't see how merc having a larger advantage is worse than only one driver winning every weekend

fervent fossil
#

It means that only a merc driver will win, if one fails there is no competition for the others

#

With RB, if max screws up, and accoring to you Checo can't win a race, so therefor someone else must be crowned the winner, that's now rb

#

Plus seing midfield battles like this rather than the entire coverage being focused on the lead, like it was in merc domination, is way better and makes h the sport more enjoyable

reading through this

#

both of u have some valid points

#

however, even if it wasn't 7 years, Merc dominated 2019 and 20, and red bull look set to dominate this year so no one has really dominated for too long and they can be treated very similarly

#

it's not like in 2019 and 2020 Bottas was fighting for wins regularly

#

so 2019 and 2020 were pretty similar, especially 2020 and 2023 with both having a car well clear
