About the AutoExpress article:
I thought this person wasn’t a racing fan, or was someone new, but no, apparently he’s one of the founding fathers of Auto Express in 1988, no less. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever read more nonsense in one article.
“most Grand Prix weekends, which last three largely uneventful days and nights”
“Some under-performing, serially losing teams – each with around 1,000 employees doing heaven knows what”
“most of which provide little or no entertainment until the final seconds”
“several multiple race-winning, seemingly frustrated drivers have woken up to the shortage of racing. And that’s why they have temporarily stepped away”
This person clearly isn’t watching the same sport I’m watching.
On the other hand, putting professional drivers who are paid millions to drive road cars right before races
is a perfect way for one of them to have an accident with your brand’s car and end up injured. Which would be a disastrous business for the brand.
Those “lengthy, stupidly under-utilized GP weekends” are being used as they should be: with support categories where drivers can be seen by an audience that doesn’t normally watch them. If the on-track action needs to be increased, it should be done through this, not through nonsense that seems to have come from the mind of a 10-year-old.
