Whatever. You missed out today. Massively. i will bet you that f1 has never had the drama or tension there was in that match.
How many over takes today? 3? 5? Was the lead swapped over and over with several drivers pulling off do or die overtakes up.the inside? Were people battling right to the line and winning by a flared nose cone? Did the leader falter right at the death or mechanical failure rob someone of the win? Did William's or maclaren or sauber win?
Of course not. Hamilton won.
F1 is like watching paint dry these days. Dull. Dull. Dull. No characters. No competition
It is often a procession.
Like I said I am an f1 fan but we have to be honest. It is dull no matter how much sky hype minor bits of action.
I watched the whole F1 race, the end of the third set of tennis to the end of that match, and the Super Over that determined the Cricket (plus some of the New Zealand innings, and snapshots of the England innings). I'd rank them for excitement in the following order:
1st Cricket (Super Over)
2nd F1
3rd Tennis
4th 80% Of the innings (since I don't think I've got enough patience to watch the whole match when you don't really know who's ahead until the second half of the match)
All were hugely exciting and all the winners would have been different if a key decision has been different. Mercedes could have put Hards on Bottas's car, Federer could have converted one of his Championship points on serve, and England or New Zealand could have got one extra run.
The great thing about races is that there's more than one competitor, and so it isn't just about who comes first but also who comes 2nd, 3rd, 4th.... 19th.
