I'm really disliking the Liberty-Era F1...
I do not care for most of the new city tracks (Jeddah, Qatar, Miami, etc) - I cannot stand the so called celebrities on the pre-grid with their bodyguards acting like they own the place, and I half expected the drivers intro (Cringe) to be a Rap. I was actually shocked the guy pronounced the names right! Would have been par for the course. Also not a fan of all the tweaks to the race format because "Joe-new-viewer may get bored".

Cannot wait for the (sue me) traditional Euro portion to begin, with the tracks of old, the real race tracks with a soul where I can do a lap in my mind and almost name each turn. And Suzuka... And bring back Germany, Portugal and Kyalami while you're at it. I've loved F1 for 40+ years and I'm starting to fall behind with this instagram F1... One of my wife's girlfriends (completely clueless about motorsports) started raving to me about Lewis Hamilton over lunch (mostly his activism and fashion stuff, OMFG) - that's when I know F1 is jumping the shark. You bring the gen-pop into this sport and it's gonna have to change to be 100% a show and no longer a technical meritocracy.
