Community ManagerNot the most exciting Canadian GP. Those F1 cars are way too large for this circuit. I don't know why but it gave me Monaco vibes.
At least, we got some drama on the last few laps. Races ending under SC are not really what we wanted but that's how it is.
Austrian GP is next. It has a lot of overtake possibilities. I'm really looking forward to it.

Those F1 cars are at the end of current regulations. Remember 2013, with disgusting 9 wins in a row, 2020 with championship that was decided after couple of races.
Every now and then you get spoiled. Like 2012 was a pretty stellar season for ages... and then the next few were really uncompetitive with only one team a real contender. If either Nico/Lewis was far superior to the other then they'd be regarded as the dark days of boring domination. The fact they were close-ish was the only saving grace. You had a brief flicker that Ferrari might be able to do something... but they're Ferrari, so they won't. Then a few average years until the snorefest that was 2020, which is only saved by the fact we were happy to even have a season.
Then you had 2021 with two teams on par and the sport interest rocketed... then a few drab years until the second half of last season where it picked up a little.Maybe we're due for another dour 2-3 years.
I expect next season to be half-decent as if it's engine-based and if Merc have the ascendancy then Merc, McLaren and Alpine (and maybe even Williams) aren't all a shambles anymore and can battle while the other engines catch up.
That being said, I think the racing itself won't be great in terms of a spectacle. However, I hope i'm wrong on that.
