In a fictional world with no Red Bull dominating, who would be the Formula 1 team and driver leading the title race?

    I don’t understand articles or titles like these. RedBull just made a good car and have a good driver and are reaping benefits of their hardwork. Why all the hate? Mercedes was dominating for 7 years. They had a good car and driver then so they were the best. So is RedBull now. Is it wrong to be good at something?

    There is such good racing and competition happening behind. Why not enjoy that? Teams will eventually catch up and things will normalize.

    Like the other commenter said should FIA start banning teams that win 5 or more races in a row?

    Why is Max winning boring either? I like seeing how teams are closing up on them or ifl they will make a mistake. But they are a well oiled machine and I appreciate them for that.

      exactly, it’s such shitty framing. why not make an article saying, “how amazing this season would be if anyone made a car as good as Red Bull.”

        Probably a consequence of how the world is. Instead of being positive, framing something in the negative gets more views and revenue. They could have worded it so much better but they chose this headline.

    We’re just back in the Vettel era of Red Bull. Did we get stupid articles like this when Mercedes was absolutely dominant for 7 whole years too? Or the Schumacher years? Go tell Ferrari to get their head out of their ass and make an actually good car so someone else can challenge.

      I think a lot of it is purely because there are more fans now because of DtS, etc. They haven’t lived through an era of domination like this before so it is all new I guess.

      Personally, I don’t mind it. It is part of the sport for me. I’m just happy my favourite team are doing better this year! :)

    I don’t understand this community, so many people complaining about how boring this season is with Redbull winning all the time, and then being told that it is actually really exciting if you look at the competition between the rest of the grid. Then someone posts an article about how exciting the racing is between the rest of the grid and everyone bitches about it.

    I must be missing something here. The article never seems to answer the obvious question. Why exactly are you writing an article about what it would be like without red bull? Is there something wrong with winning a lot? Isn’t this the nature of competition? Big companies do this everywhere in racing. Why does it matter more now with red bull?

      I didn’t write it. I’m just sharing it.

      There’s nothing wrong with Red Bull having a 100% win rate in 2023 but it’s bloody boring.

        I understand. I posted a comment here about the article you posted…that’s what we do around here?

        EDIT: Oh I see. That was the royal ‘you’. I’m referring to the author.
