How does race direction always miss everything? It’s mad. I understand it must be a hard job, but like… Wtf? Cutting away as soon as the nose of one car is ahead of another, missing battles up and down the order in favour of watching P1, P2, P3, and P4 go round in a procession. Makes the races seem so fucking tedious.
I’m seriously considering to stop following the sport altogether since watching the events live often means I sacrifice part of my weekend and more often than not it’s just not worth it because either nothing happens all race or stuff does happen but the folks who direct it are more interested in showing celebrities and partners of drivers.
I regularly fall asleep during races.
