    Welp, it’s been fun, but I think I’ll skip renewing my F1TV subscription this year and spend my money on IMSA/WEC instead. Don’t need to pay money to watch the Max Verstappen Wins Every Race Show again.

      I was thinking that at the start of last year but still ended up watching every damn race. It’s an ingrained habit at this point, I guess. Been saying since last spring that we’ll have to wait until 2026 to have a realistic hope of a title fight, most likely. I’d love to be proven wrong. RBR having a headstart combined with the budget cap limiting catch-up potential means it’s just so hard to see any other outcome, and that’s not even getting into Max. Realistically, you’d need to not only match RBR but actually have a slightly faster car to actually get a real title fight. He’s actually that good.

      I think I’ll try getting into GT3 racing this year, I heard that’s some great action. All races live on YouTube for free too, I believe. MotoGP is apparently the way to go if that’s up your alley, but I’ve never been into bikes. Might give it a shot anyway.

      I’ve been doing mental gymnastics to enjoy watching the other 19. It was a bit of a challenge as I had no experience watching motorsports. But in the end I brainwashed myself. Now many of mid position events enter my brain.
