Hamilton 5x World Champion ?

Last week was an awesome race and Hamilton won.

Any race where there is differing strategy, an uncertain outcome in the closing laps, and where the top finishing places don't match their starting positions (in other words, not a "carousel" "race" up front) make it an awesome race. Not dependent on who does (or doesn't) win.

I was just joking around about the dominance of Mercedes but if you want to talk about what makes an awesome race. OK. The last two F1 races were interesting at best to me. About 5 minutes of excitement in the first race at the end. Todays race was interesting because of the strategy call. If F1 is your favorite form of racing, maybe they would qualify as above average be cause it wasn't a carousel. To be honest though, the only thing I find awesome about F1 racing is the cars. The actual competition between the front runners and who going to win, isn't very exciting usually. It's not the drivers fault, they're great drivers. I enjoy watching F1 because I love racing. I'm glad you really enjoyed the races, it just seems we differ on what makes an awesome race.

My favorite racing is Nascar, then Indy car racing would be next. A Nascar race at Daytona or Talladega can have 50 lead changes, 10 pit stops with 30 cars on pit lane at the same time. Watched the Michigan races this weekend and they were fairly boring because Kevin Harvick was dominate but there was probably still 10 different leaders. And the margin of victory was still small.

So like beauty, I guess an awesome race is in the eye of the beholder.
