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 entertain myself by just not looking at Verstappen and watching the rest of the field duke it out. Alonso, Leclerc, Norris, and even piastri lately have made for great entertainment
That's more or less what the article is saying. It's pointing out how competitive the rest of the field is, and more competitive than in other years too. Saying that the rest of the field is competitive vs the championship would be competitive without red bull is saying the same thing.
People will tell you racing is about winning, but itโs not. Championships are about winning. Racing is about the action on the track.
Who are we (fans in general) to tell a team and drivers who did everything right and are literally pulling of a (AFAIK) historic sweep of the season โyou should let someone else take a turn winningโ. Thatโs such โbaby sisterโ energy. We can do better.
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.
I would guess it's too remind everyone that if it weren't for the combination of a team getting the rules right, a poor decision to try to nerf them by raising ride-height gone terribly wrong and one the most talented driver driving for the best team, this season would be entirely unpredictable and everyone would say the new regulations are delivering what they promised.
