I don't know why people are contemplating not watching this season because of Merc's domination. Some of the greatest title battles have come from two team mates slogging it out. Prost vs Senna is legendary for example. This race may not go down in the annals but to write off the season when a potential firecracker of a rivalry between the Mercedes' is shaping up is a little premature.
What is boring is when a dominant car is tailored or suited to one driver who sails off into the horizon.
