    Yeah, global feed seems to be a bit of whack-a-mole sometimes. I appreciate your added context and I think it would have been a good conversation starter if you started with that. Rereading my comment, it sounds a bit more gruff than I intended.

    I think the difference is that in Formula 1 there is also team based skill and personal driver skill at work. With reality TV there is little of that what makes a sport a sport.

    If you like the drama I highly recommend the Netflix series Drive To Survive. It catches some of the juicy drama and highlights some internal workings of the sport not clear at first glance.

      Naw, it’s all cool. My comment was non-topical for the c/.

      Oh! Don’t get me wrong. I wasn’t saying that watching F1 was like watchig the Kardashians; I was saying watching the F1 news posts was like reality TV: a new drama every day. And all the drivers are (or seem to be) supermodels.

      From what I’ve seen, F1 races themselves are like the antithesis of golf, and filled with razor-sharp, skilled folks constantly risking their lives - and that’s just the pit crews! It’s just not my bag.
