2015 Brazilian Grand Prix

Dullest race of the season. And that's saying a lot.

Hamilton didn't even congratulate Nico, after the race.

I am an MBZ fan but this was an epic failure. I cannot believe that with both championships sewn up, they won't let them race.

I understand that Dr. Z wants to sell cars but I can assure him that both cars fighting for a 1-2 finish in the same manner as Bahrain last year will get them more air-time and generate more excitement about the brand.

HAM should have been allowed to roll the dice and finish the race Soft-Soft and really give ROS a run for his money. Until they get a race strategist for each side of the garage, this foolishness will continue.

Cheers-mk

Yep, total snooze-fest. I turned it off.

The races wouldn't be so boring if the cars were more exciting to watch. MS owned F1 for five years in a row, but at least it was still fun to watch 1000bhp V10s screaming at 19,000+ RPM. Now I get to watch cars that sound like riding mowers and aren't much quicker than a GP2 car.

Actually they were louder this year at COTA. Definitely don't sound like riding lawn mowers in person. Screaming NA engines no, but they don't sound bad at all really.

Awful race, maybe the worst I've ever had the displeasure of sitting through. Stop and go traffic on the highway is more entertaining to watch.

The races are dumb because the rules suck and the cars are all over the place in terms of competitiveness with nobody able to challenge Mercedes. Not because the engines don't rev as high or make as pretty noises.

Interlagos is usually one of my favorite races to watch and this year it was super dull. But damn Lewis is being a sore loser. Part of me wants Nico to win next years WDC just to see how Lewis acts. The mid pack action was decent, but hopefully the finale in Abu Dahbi is more exciting.

Interlagos is only entertaining if it rains. Otherwise it is follow the leader.
