I feel like the only reason races have been exciting this year is because of crashes resulting in a safety car. On terms of actual battles not been that many

Yeah wheel to wheel battles are rare, but chaos is an integral part of sport.

[@levant5378]

Yeah, the early crash and the late puncture ruined the whole race, nascar is more entertaining.

This time it's the mercedes pit crew who made that race exciting, because without this double stack pit stop they would have cruised home to an easy 1 2
