Loads on here were moaning saying it was boring with Red Bull and Vettel winning all the time, are those now bored with Mercedes winning all the time?

No, because there are two Mercs racing. Same reason that 1989 was a brilliant year.

Nope, when red bull were winning, it was 1 driver, who never really raced anyone, and when he did he was crashing into his teammate or acting like a spoilt child and ignoring team orders but expected his teammate to move over for him and was obviously a number 1 driver with his pick of parts and cars.....and even parts off his teammates car. This year is different, we've had no team orders in mercedes, both cars the same, both racing hard

No one will complain that Mercedes is winning everything because it's a British guy that's winning and not a German.

You know what I meant. Rosberg isn't going to be challenging for the Championship.

Even though he's currently leading it?

If we were hearing radio messages from Merc telling them to run line astern they would become just as unpopular as Red Bull very quickly. The minute you hear Multi 21 you know the worm has turned.

But they haven't, watch Bahrain back on replay if you're unsure.

He won one race because Hamilton DNF'd. I can't see him getting any more wins unless Hamilton has more reliability issues.

The only thing that will artificially keep it close is this stupid double points at last race.

Only time will tell, I think either driver would be a worthy champion, I'm british so naturally gunning for hammy, but if rosberg wins then fair play.....as long as the last race doesn't decide it with reliability issues or an accident

I'm not sure I ever moaned about it on here, but yes it is just as boring to see one of the Mercedes cars disappear at the front as it was to see one of the Red Bulls do the same. For me, it was never about the driver or the team that was doing it, it's boring to see anyone clear off at the front and cruise to victory whether they are my least favourite or most favourite driver.

That said, it's not such a big deal. It's Sunday, it's not as if I'm doing anything else. The only difference it makes is I might turn off before the end of the race if the opportunity arises to do something better.

If Mercedes are still coming first and second in three/four years time maybe i'll complaint then. At the minute its a refreshing change.

I watched it today and had exactly the same thought. I don't really care about the drivers so for one team to be so dominant is worse for me, especially when it's a team I don't like.

The RBs failed to finish 1-2 in their dominant races as frequently as they should have done. Mercedes appear more consistent in that respect ... at the moment.

To the non-Fanboy enthusiasts, there's never a boring F1 race
