Disagree, if people solely focus on the front of field you’d say it’s boring, but the midfield battles and differing strategies with the controversy made the race. Not every race will be an edge of you seat stuff, just like every other sport.
I support McLaren and Williams for a long time. The teams who run up front don't bother me (only Lando Norris this race 🥳) It was soon clear Mercedes was quicker than McLaren and later Hamilton had carproblems so not excitement there. In midfield it was close but for the majority of the race they could only follow and not pass each other.
