The green washing has also put me off the sport after 26 years. That and the Americanisation/enshitification of the show.

Don’t blame America for this one. We usually get the Sky broadcast from the UK. It’s Englishitification if anything.

Don’t blame America for this one.

Liberty Media is US American, so....

It's an English sport, or at least it was. It's not anymore.

What do you consider the Americanisation of F1? I don't watch F1 but I do watch other American sports.

[-] quantum_mechanic@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

It's becoming more artificial, and having DHL fastest pistop bullshit, Pirelli fastest lap etc. Everything is just an opportunity to increase cashflow. I know it has always been a business first, but I saw this stuff 20+ years ago on indycar/NASCAR and made me gag then. I'm just old school now, and prefer lower tech cars and a straightforward show without artificial drama.

I dream of Ferrari 156 in Monaco.. pop the team into those old school cars and letem race.

It's becoming more and more a dramatized event where entertainment is the focus and not a sports competition.
