I donโt understand why everyone is saying the racing was great here. All overtakes were either slipstreaming behind another car or under breaking at the end of a straight. Sure it makes for a lot of overtakes, but not really that exciting after having seen the same move done a couple of times.
Also, why was the cool-down room a Rolls Royce and not an American car like a Cadillac? Seems like a missed opportunity to promote more Americana.
Rolls Royce probably considered to be more of a luxury vehicle as it's foreign and known for the build quality and finish
Agreed the racing was poor, just slipstream and DRS, which I noticed Karun called "drafting" today...
@Photographer @formula1 I enjoyed the racing, and it seems the drivers did too. Everyone wants to shit on this race and Iโm fucking tired of hearing the negativity. It was a great race, lots of action, super high speeds, whatโs not to love?
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 ๐ Any other track would have made for better racing. But it is all about the ๐ฐ Everything felt so forced this weekend to make it appear good.
@Photographer
Spa and Silverstone will never not be on the schedule. Are you crazy?
Or maybe another sign of non-support for GM getting a team in F1 ๐คฃ
