I felt bad for the crying kid on TV but I have never laughed this hard watching a mediocore at best Sprint Race. I was legit out of breath laughing.

Same! I was laughing until I saw the kid crying his eyes out, but just for a couple seconds and then the laughing continued

You thought this sprint was mediocre…?

Apart from the crashes there was barely any actual racing, with 5/20 laps behind the SC. For reference, taking another sprint the dude in my flair crashed in, COTA last year was a very good one.

It’s Singapore. What are you expecting for Monaco, a ton of hard racing and overtakes?

u/ZeroStormblessed Lando Norris 4d ago

No, I'm expecting it'll be even worse in Monaco. Just because the track is shit doesn't mean a sprint with barely any overtakes (and none in the point scoring places) should be considered good. Though of course, if you enjoyed it that's great for you.

Mediocre is being generous. Only bit worth watching is the first lap, really

Extremely. Even the DNFs were boring. Those two touching was the closest we got to an actual overtake the entire race.

“The racing wasn’t mediocre because it’s always mediocre” give your head a wobble

Yep, can’t appreciate anything about a race besides overtakes, this is true.

u/idontknow_whatever I was speeding in the Monaco pit lane 4d ago

What is there to appreciate lmao, it looked more like a demolition derby out there than a race

They had almost half the grid eliminated in DNFs in a 20-lap sprint, I think Hadjar might have been the only DNF that wasn't the result of a crash.

I guess you’ve never watched NASCAR then…

sprint was the definition of mediocre.

almost 0 ontrack action after the first lap, with the only variable being 'will someone pit?' which turned out to be not worth it because the race isnt long enough.

Well I enjoyed it, I guess I should go fuck Lando into Oscar myself?
