    I have a friend who wanted to get into F1 this year. He was looking forward to supporting Ricciardo as they both support the same football team, so he was pretty sad to hear that he didn’t have a drive. Four races in and he bowed out saying he might watch the highlights, but overall the races are too boring to watch.

    I can understand his problem, a lot of the skill is not easily seen given how good the field is. F1 doesn’t (often) have drivers slamming into each other and spinning off. F2/3 deliver much more in that space. Albon’s race craft last Sunday was exceptional, an absolute joy to watch, but I guess not if you’re hoping to see some mad cap overtakes and wild moves

      Also I feel the TV directors could make things way more interesting… I don’t recall seeing anything about Albon’s defence live, for example…
