I’m no native English speaker, but “has been” just sounds like it was in the past and is present no longer.

So to me that sentence just implies that the “era” is over.

Probably only watched Monaco, Vegas and Singapore or something.

Some races someone builds a giant lead, or barely any overtakes happen. But overall this season has been a good one.

Is in*

Well at least they put effort in. The next races always feel like a dead crowd, to the point they might just as well not be there.

Maybe they just thought they found an abandoned Asian kid at the airport lol 😂

Some races seem in such a weird order, having to travel from Saudi Arabia to the US to Italy, and Spain to Canada to Austria.

Would’ve been better to give crew more rest, could’ve probably dropped like 3 or 4 races. Like I wouldn’t mind if they dropped Qatar, Bahrain and Monaco or something.

To be fair, everyone except for 4 other drivers on the grid has less than half of Max lol

Oh I definitely prefer it over the completely atmosphereless desert night races, but at least they can race and overtake on those.

I wish they could alter Monaco, or extend it beyond their borders or something.

I wouldn’t mind a few less races a year either, and if Monaco were one of those they had to drop I’d be fine with that.

I feel like I’ve been reading about this movie for like half a decade already, when is it actually due?

I found it, it’s somewhere 2025, at which point I’m pretty sure it’s been almost half a decade lmao

Ugh…

I know this track has historical value, but it’s so insanely boring. The only time it got remotely interesting was because of the rain, which forced strategic decisions and more errors happening.

Other than that it’s a boring ass track, weren’t there like only 4 overtakes during the entire last race there? The only thing that matters is qualifying and not messing up tire strategy, there is no actual race involved anymore.

I do think alternatives got traction, but I don’t think any of them are anywhere near actually competing with X though. Perhaps it’s the beginning of becoming a true competitor, but it’s a long ride still.

Yeah but I mean I’ve often seen people claim they leave X for something else, only for them to return a couple of weeks or months later again. This seems to happen with every new similar platform that pops up. It’s just like Lemmy being a Reddit alternative, but it seems to forever struggle to take off, and it never quite feels like the amount of engagement you get on Reddit, just because everyone is staying there or returning there anyway.

I think it’s mostly due to alternatives trying to copy the originals, instead of doing something new that could keep people interested longer to build up a bigger community.

People been saying this for years since he took over and nothing changes.

They’ll likely spam loads of teasers for hype before that show though. I don’t think it’ll be much different, except the final reveal will be at the same time.

There are occasionally American shows that address this, both serious and comically, and it’s always crazy how people are stunned by beaches and the ocean.

That said I live in a country of which half the border is a coastline and half of the land is below sealevel. But still, it seems so normal to have been to a beach at least several times in a lifetime, even if it’s distant. For me it’s the reverse with mountains and rough terrain though, everything is flat here.

I think Vegas might seal the deal though, if Brazil (theoretically) hadn’t already.

That is, if the RB is now as good in conditions other than rain.

American broadcasters in shambles

Shame for them, but honestly can’t say I’d miss them at this point, at least not with Kick. I often forgot they were even part of the race, can’t remember any memorable moment from either in the past season(s), except for Zhou’s crash in Silverstone.

We have a F1 press?

Read what I said.
