Yeah, I have no idea how someone can sit through 60 odd laps of F1. Too much politics and behind-the-scenes bullsh1t involved for it to be a credible form of Motorsport anymore in my opinion.

And yet we accept people sit watching bloody cricket for days and at the end they can call it a draw,
yeah F1 is boring

Shame these intelligent people cant use a remote control and turn over to something they do want to watch,
Like the week in, week out, Top Gear moaners, nothing simpler then NOT watching something you don`t enjoy,
these will be the very same people who say that people now days have no common sense . . . .

There is no place in my life for football. I ain't gonna come on here and bleat about how boring it is though!

Usual thing, if you don't like it watch some thing else.

Maybe some folk will find it more interesting now that Ericson has had a massive confrontation with a tyre barrier

I'd rather watch F1 than cricket, and that's saying something! Even the audience at a cricket match looks bored, and they've paid to see it!

Surely watching your paint dry gives a sense of satisfaction job well done

without additionally being shafted for an entrance fee

Indeed. Wet track conditions always make for a better spectacle.

Just like the BBC the Channel 4 Director frustratingly considers it ok to cut to crowd, pits or pit crew at inappropriate moments. Aargh!

its been refreshing not having hamilton win every race its just a shame rosberg is, not sure how much they can hamper mercedes ie having to supply half the grid with the same engines as theirs + all their engine upgrades but the rest still cant get any closer?
