Not looking for a controversial “hot take” necessarily.
What’s something about F1 that you used to strongly believe, but after watching more races / seeing how things developed, you completely changed your mind about?

Could be a driver, team, regulation, track, strategy, or even something about how the sport is managed.

My take: I used to absolutely love the racing and everything around F1. But with the rise of super-clipping and how polished everything has become, I’ve actually found myself losing interest over time. Annd The constant media trained perfectly crafted answers, and the “perfect schoolboy” image from so many drivers sometimes makes the sport feel less authentic to me. Maybe I’m just getting older

This would put his earnings among the highest of any driver on the grid.

Torque delivery has also been adjusted to reduce wheelspin and improve rear tyre protection.

After watching the latest F1 video supposedly showing all the drivers best overtake they've ever done their whole career I find myself uninspired by the choice of the triple overtake Hamilton did at Bahrain 2018. It's alright but not that special. The Hamilton I remember used to pull overtakes like Monza 2008 for fun. Even the battles he's had with Leclerc this year alone have produced better overtakes than the Bahrain overtake, nevermind the best overtakes he's made over his career.
