Half the race was a DRS train, I don't think there was "lots of action" or any great racing. I'd rather see high speed corners and corners with multiple lines than the high speed straights and DRS overtakes. Also the deliberate attempts to force spectacle detract from the race, the over crowded grid walk with virtually no interesting celebrities despite being in Vegas, driving to a hotel for an interview delaying the podium, celebrity flag waver who looked like he didn't want to be there. All this on a backdrop of losing Hockenheim and risking the loss of Spa and Silverstone. Sorry if you feel that's negative, but F1 is going in the wrong direction with this, Miama and Saudi Arabia.

So many cool tracks in the US like Laguna Seca, Sebring, Road America and many others. Instead, they chose to race in the capitals of greed like Miami and Las Vegas. Great πŸ‘ Any other track would have made for better racing. But it is all about the πŸ’° Everything felt so forced this weekend to make it appear good.

Spa and Silverstone will never not be on the schedule. Are you crazy?
