However, over the last few races, the competition has really started to heat up, and the teams head into the summer break in the knowledge that the Red Bulls are, finally, beatable.
Indeed, it is the McLarens who have benefited the most, and taken advantage; although they've made it hard on themselves, with a missing wheel nut for Jenson, and a drive-through penalty for Lewis.
The circuits have offered up there excitement, and the weather has had an impact too. In fact, the television audiences have been tremendous over the last few weeks.
I'm not going to go into all the facts and figures; this website does it so much better; with stats on almost every aspect of every team and their drivers.
We also know that next year the sport fans will have to choose Sky, to watch every race; due to the BBC relinquishing some of their rights. In a way, this is understandable, if not frustrating; especially given how popular the sport has become. However, they do have to manage their budget, and whilst the majority of fans aren't happy; I'm sure Sky will put their stamp on it. At least, I hope they do.
So, now the teams are in a forced shut-down for 2 weeks, and will then be hard at work preparing for the Belgian Grand Prix, at Spa.
I love watching F1 - this season especially; and I'm looking forward to part two.
