‘It is 99 per cent show and one per cent sporting event,’ said the 26-year-old. ‘I was just standing up there, looking like a clown.

‘I guess they (F1) still make money whether I like it or not. So it’s not up to me. But I’m not going to fake it.

‘I voice my opinion on positive things and negative things. That’s just how I am. And you know, some people like the show a bit more. I don’t like it at all.

‘I grew up just looking at the performance side of things. And that’s how I see it as well. I like to be in Vegas, but not so much for racing.’

F*** Lewis Hamilton.

Vegas is America’s bunghole.
It’s a depraved toilet.

Max is right.

Kylie Minogue, is it 1991 again? (I actually wish it was…)

There were also complaints about the opening ceremonies in Miami this year.

I also had the misfortune to catch this F1 Las Vegas-related event on YouTube with a bunch of celebrities driving F1 simulators on the Vegas track, with none of them taking it even halfway seriously.

The owners of F1 are going for drama, both on and off the track. They saw how well Netflix worked adding new fans.

F1’s growth will not be with race fans, already have them. It’s with the social, party, good time, trendy people…..

As usual Max is correct.
