That was an entertaining Formula E race.

Looks like there is something about Verstappen that people just don't like...

Something about him behaving like a spoilt and cranky toddler most of the time?

He's a lot like Ayrton Senna - the driver you love to hate.

That was a bit of a better race than I've seen before but still struggling with the concept. But still don't like they sometimes think that are in stockcars, too much weaving

Agreed although I can see *why* there is booing. What was more interesting is that both of the Ferrari drivers got a big cheer - Sainz commented how nice it was to be cheered by the British fans. Looks like there is something about Verstappen that people just don't like...

He does come across as petulant teenager, but he has amazing natural talent, I understand the booing if he was actually doing something wrong (like he has in the past), not just driving. Maybe they think he'll be worried about it.

I followed F1 for over 60 years. After the fiasco of the 2021 Spa 'race' and the final race of the season I gave up on it. Too much management to get an 'exciting last lap' in the latter, total ballcocks at Spa, for which they awarded half points.
F1 is no longer what it used to be!

Apples and trees and all that, sadly

Still don't think it excuses bad manners

I do hope the rain gods get to play this afternoon & make it exciting

Motorsport is dangerous, it says so on every ticket.

Seems a bit unfair for Russell. He clearly stopped to make sure everyone was ok.

Sort of, but the car failed to restarted & we have no idea how much damage that tyre would have caused getting back to the pits
