It’s how America would do a big sporting event; like Miami on steroids.

I’m not a race snob or anything but I follow F1 and watch a lot of their content throughout the year.

The grouchy haters like Max are kind of bleh. Stupid events like this ultimately mean more money for the sport and more money for Max.

If you view how much goes into making an event like this so 20 guys can drive around in circles; it’s incredible, amazing, and just plain obnoxious.

All very fair and valid points. I suppose as well with it never being huge in the US historically, I suppose maybe the sentiment is be loud and obnoxious and over the top to get the attention over everything else here. I suppose everything must change over time. The only constant is change and all.

Even though this is off topic, adding watch content. My wife and I got matching Santos to commemorate the event.

This is the green one, she got the smaller ladies size.

Congratulations on the new watch! Always admired Cartier
