It has been notable news in recent days that Formula 1 is taking a step forward in exhibitions, and instead of the traditional car launches at the beginning of the year, it will hold a public spectacle in London.
We don't know what you think, but seeing this makes us feel like we're not in a car race, but in another trashy experience far removed from reality. And we're not alone in this... In fact, Max Verstappen, who is heading for his fourth world title, didn't like F1's new idea either, and even harshly criticized it. It's true that it wasn't during a public appearance, but what's once posted on the internet, stays there...
"What's this F175 thing? What are you talking about? No, I'm not going to watch any F1 then... In fact, I hope I'm lucky enough to get sick that week." - was the harsh criticism that came out of Verstappen's mouth.
It would be hard to argue with the Dutchman. Instead of sorting out the constant antics seen in rainy races, they'd build a usable rain tire, report on why almost nothing came of the announced rule changes (easier to follow, easier to overtake, less dominance, etc.), and instead, they'd hold a Formula 1 monkey parade. Will there be a ghost fight too?
