The top place in the championships hasn't been particularly exciting recently, but there are lots of good things going on behind them (especially Red Bull/Racing Point/McLaren), and there are still good chances for people like Max to win races fairly regularly.

When the new set of rules come in (now pushed back to 2022) it should spice things up quite a bit, and due to the design of the rules it should be more even, so we get closer car designs and therefore closer races and championships.


Haas seem to me to have two major problems. The first as you say is the drivers, Gro-crash has never been great, and K-Mag doesn't have proper competition within the team to make him try harder. There are lots of drivers in the lower formulas, so it shouldn't be hard to find a replacement for at least one of them.

The other issue is that they rely on Ferrari, who have a long-term habit of providing lower quality parts to other teams (when they just supplied engines, those teams were slower than teams of similar budgets); Hass seemed to get a better deal, but they did too well initially and therefore were a threat to Ferrari themselves, so I'm assuming the parts quality has reduced.
