MODERATORS
The green washing has also put me off the sport after 26 years. That and the Americanisation/enshitification of the show.
What do you consider the Americanisation of F1? I don't watch F1 but I do watch other American sports.
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.
