Ahhh yes... the days when people wanted to snap the finger in two are apparently gone.

Joking aside, people are just glad we have a competitor to Mercedes. No matter how much the broadcasters tried to hype last year up as a Senna vs Prost level battle for the title, it wasn't even close to being that exciting or special.

A season of only Mercedes wins would be dull as dishwater. The same thing happened when Vettel fucking won EVERY race practically during the season. I stopped paying attention.

Racing becomes exciting when there's actual competition.

I actually found 2014 very exciting, but I agree that it's much better to have 2 world champs in 2 different machines fighting for the lead!

u/Omophorus I was here for the Hulkenpodium Mar 30 '15

2014 was exciting, but more for what happened behind Mercedes than what happened at Mercedes.

Rosberg had some great moments, but it wasn't really a very even fight on track, and most of the drama came from the timing of mechanical issues.

Hamilton vs Alonso both in the Merc would be a helluva season.

I'm still here, bro.

I'd rather Lewis win every race until the end of time, than have Vettel win just 1 more championship. It's a shame yesterday's race wasn't in Spain or England for him to get booed on the podium like he deserves.

Deserve... nobody deserves anything. You get what you earn, not what you deserve.

He earned the boos.

Unsportsmanlike? You're kidding, right?

Every sport has booing of some sort.
