When it rains, it pours...

And in case you are wondering the dark patches represent the damage at Turn 17, as seen last night before repairs:

Wait until the porpoising cars carve out the straights, then they'll really have stuff to fix.

OK guys, I've been following this sport since 2006. I was 9 back then. Now, I am 24. The amount of making show out of this sport really baffles me and I'm disgusted with it. The amount of show put on social media such as WTF1 channel and also show put into British commentary, just wow. And amount of work to portrait this weekend as a show not a race, jesus. I feel the drivers were far more serious back in 2000's or early 2010's. Look what McLaren guys are wearing outside of track. Comical . I feel like a lot has changed since Liberty media took over. And media around the track even emphasizes this behavior. But why? Here in Croatia, most of fans really are mature people who don't fall for fake show, not kids. I believe it is also like that in other parts of Europe. Is it really that necessary?

I think drivers outside of the race weekend (thursday to sunday) more or less do what they want or what their team tells them without FOM or FIA coming in the way. The Ferrari C2 challenge is unlikely something liberty media told them to do, Ferrari just thought it would get more fans involved with them.

It might be that Liberty's target viewers are mostly Tiktokers.

Yea, I know that, I think just as a general impression.

They are promoting the race/sport.

F1 compared to most big money major sports doesn't have that much of a presence in the world.

Especially America where it would be extremely financially advantageous to break through due to how professional and even amateur/college level competitive sports are such a way of life over there.

They are making a song and dance about it to entice the kind of people who like that kind of pomp and ceremony to bring more interest to the race and the sport as a whole.

It's okay if you don't like it. It just means you aren't their target audience for this ceremony.

[Fulcrum]

Courting the American audience, so yes, its going to be louder, more concerned with the 'show' than the sport itself, and less subtle - less British in other words.

The amount of content pouring out of Miami before the first practice even starts has been insane. They're doing something right for the sport.

Didn't we had pit babes all over the place? You could say that was unnecessary distraction as well. I think in all sports there is some show element.

[Sofa King]

Sports are entertainment and Miami looks to be amazing entertainment. The only reason everyone is complaining and wishing about the good ole' days, is that without social media it is hard to follow all the entertainment outside of the broadcast. Remember when you were complaining about missiles landing on the track?
