Over the course of this season I read and heard a lot of commentators say that with Ferrari's domination this year the excitement has gone out of F-1. I don't think the excitement has gone, just the suspense. As long as Ferrari has a car running, it's a fairly safe bet that it will finish on the podium and probably on the top step. I don't know what is so exciting about watching a bunch of very specialized vehicles going around in circles is, but I don't try to analyze it, just enjoy it. I have seen some fantastic battles in the mid -pack this year. True, they were mostly for pride rather than points, but that does not make them any less exciting. 
So maybe a lot of the "experts" should lighten up and just enjoy the race. Who knows, maybe next year will be the year of Toyota or Renault or Sauber or some other mid to back runner and Ferrari will be left in the position that McLaren find themselves in this year - Jeff S - USA (Reference Heretic 4-26 - Is it all Ferrari now ?)

The Heretic replies:

Thanks for your comments Jeff,

The suspense has certainly gone out of the driver and constructor’s championships that is over.

Now that Barrichello is finally allowed to race and team orders only apply after the last pit stop even Ferrari, way up front, is exciting to watch and the struggles in the middle of the pack are always good. Pity that coverage has a tendency to show the leaders most of the time.

We at newsonf1, do understand why commentators lament Ferrari’s dominance (or historically any dominant team). Since the driver’s championship has been decided hits on the site have been declining steadily. Interest in this season is definitely waning
