2010 Formula 1 Telefónica Grand Prix Of Europe

Hate to say it, this could be the most boring race in the calender.
Maybe it'll even out-bore the season opening Bahrain GP.
Someone need to seriously kill this track with fire!
It was horrible when it first debuted in 2008 when Bernie highly praised this as the Monaco in Spain. But end up to be a boring race, garnish with the complaints of sewage smell from the harbor. Last year was a bit better as we see Rubens and Lewis battle for the win, but not much action as they battle through pit stop strategy. Plus McLaren kind of screwed up the pit stop.

Have you watched the Hungarian GP last year???
It was exciting to see McLaren come back!

Or I believe you missed out the Valencia GP both 2008-2009....I had a hard time to keep myself awake.
As well as the Bahrain GP earlier this year.

Hungarian GP is hardly more boring than those i mentioned above.

The way I define "boring" is the race (game) itself put the audience into sleep.
Which Bahrain almost did the trick (given the race was at 5am).
The good races (like Turkish etc), even I'm up at 5am, I'm still pumped and excited.

Baseball, depends, if its Red Sox vs Yankees, could be interesting. But normally I wouldn't get up "5am" to watch a baseball game, not such a big fan of it.

Valencia, last year was alright, the tension between Rubens and Lewis racing through pit strategy was quite exciting, and sorta kept hyper during the pit rotation. But 2008 was a torture, the only excitement was Kimi almost pulled the fuel rig, and the flamboyant engine blow right in front of the pit exit.

The Hungarian Grand Prix has had ONE good race since I first started watching F1 seriously in 1994, which was Jenson Button winning in 2006 on a rain-soaked track. Otherwise, it is the King of snore-fest races. Passing is nigh impossible, there are no close walls or cool-looking corners like in Valencia, Monaco, and Singapore, and the track surroundings are downright boring.

I would would watch a hundred Bahrain Grand Prix events over a single race at the Hungaroring.

The you sir...no offence...you must be smoking something good while watching Bahrain GP 2010....

i'll trade Hungarian GP over Bahrain GP 2010....no way in hell i'll suffer to watch Bahrain 2010 again....Valencia, two years in a row...hasn't produced an exciting race. Maybe its not the most boring to you, but definitely working its way to match Bahrain and Hungarian. In no time it will replace the title for the most boring and pointless race in the calender from Hungarian and Bahrain.

I think Abu Dhabi is quite boring except the last dual from Webber and Button. The track itself it too forgiving and no challenges.
