True, we live in modern times 21st century, in the age digitizationwhen a man reading a newspaper in a park on a bench or in a bistro over coffee in “paper edition”We look at it as a guest from the ancient past. But one thing is for sure: exaggeration with marginal shows in Formula 1, which he is staging at the time Liberty Medium, is a completely different song.
Of course young fans they also want fun during the race, there is nothing controversial here. So it is right that some music star brighten up the time when nothing is happening on the track. Just for explanation. And who is that the fringe show only overshadows the racewhen racers have to play some kind of role low-cost gourds and when even security he has to withdraw from this artificial show, and the red light comes on for me personally.
Jewelry and underwear are more important than safety on the track
FIA - or the director of the race in Miami Niels Wittitch -, she staged a real one in Florida witch hunt with its rules on wearing jewelry and even more about racers ’underwear. Understandably, yes Lewis Hamilton can't get into the cockpit of his Mercedes with external outfit, which served as a protest against this partly stupid matter. I believe I would not do that either. A do drama from one piercing seven-time world champion and put this above track safety in Miami, however, exceeds the limit of reasonableness. And if he might have Hamilton a serious accident - God forbid we understand each other - would be his nasal decoration the last thing doctors would worry about in terms of his health.
How should one understand behavior ombudsmen, which is decorated in Hamilton's nose more problematic than track plan in Miami, where they repaired the asphalt surface every night and where we witnessed two serious accidents Sainz in Ozone, which have just disappeared into oblivion. In oblivion or ignorance Formula 1 greats and organizers in Miami they also fell more and more frequently criticism of racers at the expense of the track. Lewis Hamilton he described certain sections of the track as racing in the department store parking lot.
And then there’s the saga of underwear. If Hamilton to the FIA's rules regarding jewelry protested with the external image American rapper with 30 pounds of gold and watches, it is Sebastian Vettel in view underwear, which is supposed to be fire-resistant, proved his protest by wearing a racing suit put on underpants - Boxers. We believe that the brand of these underpants will be very happy with this advertisement. But something else is important. Racers have had to wear it since time immemorial t-shirts, undercaps and, of course overalls, which must be fire resistant. And what they have now panties deal with if they are under overalls? I think…
Do Formula 1 races really have to be like the Superbowl in the US?
February Formula 1 they want all the races to become sort of Superbowl modeled after the finale show NFL championships. But is this the right path? Certainly not, because it will become a sport artificial and almost indigestible, as the focus of the racing weekend will be shifted to off-track events. The race will be on marginal matter of this artificial show, to some extent an accompanying program. Do we really want that? Real lovers Definitely not Formula 1. Of course, this is about money flowing into the coffers Liberty Media and consequently also to the teams ’cash registers and racers’ bank accounts. But the latter are losing out star status the sport to which they enrolled.
Even many Americans, accustomed to various kitsch shows, were horrified by the backdrop of the Miami Grand Prix racing weekend with this artificial marina, mermaids, and so on.
In view artificially creating tension, the excitement and uncertainty of what is happening on the track is in Miami the fact that after a close encounter between Gasly in Norris bargained with a safety car. Here it was seen how they are modeled on the series IndyCar in artificial neutralization races waited by sending after the initial virtual safety car to the track Mayländer with their Mercedes and how they waited with the removal of parts of AlphaTauri and McLaren race cars.
Hopefully, this artificial show doesn’t transfer to traditional tracks
We can only hope that of this kind of Miami show with kitschy accessories along the trail (a marina painted on the asphalt with boats and swimming pools in which mermaids swim) will not be seen on traditional trails in They connect, Monza in Silverstone, which are known for their history and on which the show takes place only on the track and less off it.
Of course they will fans of individual racers (all make no mistake), who achieved a good result, podium or even victory, knew how to say different opinion and in view of the success achieved by their role model, they will consider it a path oh and great at all, but it is worth a look the whole picture and the eye is also thrown into the background, where the focus is not so much on the race itself, but much more on what is happening a show outside of it. All this with a single goal: higher fee from the organizer, more money in their own box office and an event they come to sunbathe entertainment industry stars, other sports and politics.
However, as far as the ceremony on the winners' stage and the preliminary procedure are concerned, I would rather not lose my words. I am saddened by the fact that Las Vegas will join the Formula 1 calendar for the second year in a row and we can only imagine what awaits us (off the track, not on the track ()
His days, still under leadership Bernie Ecclestone, called Formula 1 "the fastest circus in the world“But lately it’s really been that a real circus. The Briton said after Miami that he does not come from America nothing smart. In terms of Formula 1, we have to - whether we like it or not, and let someone like all this artificial dirge - to fasten. I repeat: the importance of the races that are happening on the tracks, is slowly receding fringe show outside of it. And if anyone thinks all this star cream in "cream“Which appeared in Miami, interested in Formula 1, he is seriously mistaken. They wanted to be present and seen at a world-famous event - just for own promotion.
