“Does anyone else get the feeling we’re reaching peak saturation with F1?” wonders Samuel Brotherwood. “The end of last season doesn’t feel that long ago and this year is even longer. If/when Verstappen wins, isn’t it just a continuation of the race that preceeded this one? We are stuck in the Marvel meta-world (or whatever it’s called).”
